Join us in removing invasive species from Palvaanniemi, the eastern end of Iidesjärvi!
Invasive species threaten biodiversity by taking space from local flora. For multiple summers we have removed himalayan balsam from this area and as a result the Finnish touch-me-not balsam has flourished!
The event is free to join. At the end we offer free snacks provided by the city of Tampere. There will be two volunteer work events, feel free to join both or one of them!
They are on Tuesdays 23.6. and 30.6. from 5 pm until 7 pm.
Sign up at least two days before, so we can prepare the correct amount of snacks.
Meeting spot: Vuohenojan kenttä, Palvaanniemenkatu 8.
You will need: weather-appropriate clothes and shoes, gloves if you want them (we have some you can borrow). Make sure to protect yourself from ticks and mosquitoes by wearing long sleeved clothing. You can also take mosquito repellent.
