Summary: Help restore the habitat of Cherry Creek State Park and return the area to a more natural state.
Description: Help improve the habitat at Cherry Creek State Park and remove invasive weeds to restore the park to a more natural state. Specifically we will be going after curly dock, mullein, and thistle. We will also be trimming back willow plants to help promote growth and prevent them from encroaching on the road. An invasive plant has the ability to thrive and spread aggressively outside its natural range. A naturally aggressive plant may be especially invasive when it is introduced to a new habitat. An invasive species that colonizes a new area may gain an ecological edge since the insects, diseases, and foraging animals that naturally keep its growth in check in its native range are not present in its new habitat.
