Edit: We are expecting chilly weather on 4/28 but the volunteer day is still on! Be sure to bring warm clothing, just in case.

The Bison Range is putting on a volunteer knapw**d pulling day on April 28th, weather depending (in case of bad weather, we will try to make an announcement the night of 4/27). If you are interested, the group will be meeting at the visitor center at 9am. Please be sure to bring bug spray, water, gardening gloves, a hat, and long pants. Tall socks and boots are a good idea to avoid ticks. The w**d pulling will be from 9am-12pm and volunteers will be welcome to take the drive afterwards. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us via email.
