| Responsibilities: |
The Invasives Weed Buster plays a key role in helping us curb the harmful spread of invasive species—including pale swallowwort, Asiatic bittersweet, and bush honeysuckles—at Peaked Mountain. You’ll walk the property to identify the extent of the weed manifestations and search for new infestations. Hand pulling or hand cutting techniques will be used. |
| Qualifications: |
Interest in and an understanding of the need to control invasive plants. Physical vigor to be able to work in sometimes hot and dry, or cold or wet, conditions dragging plant material over uneven ground. Plant identification skills are helpful but not required.
