The Joshua Tree National Park vegetation crew is seeking volunteers for two one-day sessions to help with the control of the invasive Sahara mustard plant. This non-native weed is invading Joshua Tree National Park and surrounding communities. It has the potential to do lasting harm to the native desert ecosystem. The two weed pulling dates are scheduled for April 4 and April 11 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Volunteers are asked to meet at the Oasis Visitor Center, 74485 National Park Drive in Twentynine Palms. Participants should bring water, snacks, hats, and sunscreen. Tools and gloves will be provided. For more information call 760-367-5568.
