Hard hats and safety glasses will be provided for the project, which ends at 4 p.m.

Following the Weed Rodeo, volunteers are invited to attend "Music on the Mountain" at Johnson Ridge Ampitheater. The band "Sassparilla" will be providing high energy, vocal harmonies and danceable music for all ages from 6:30-8 p.m. Bring a picnic dinner.

On Sunday the 30th, volunteers are invited for a 9 a.m. guided hike with Monument Scientist Peter Frenzen.
