    dog park invasives m12

    Help Needed – May 12 🌿🐾

    Join us for a hands-on morning at the Anderson Farm County Park Dog Park! We’ll be out from 8:00–11:00 a.m. at 804 Union Road in Oregon, rolling up our sleeves to take on invasive plant species as part of our biggest spring workday—done in partnership with Dane County Parks.

    We’re looking for 11 volunteers to help restore and protect this space. Invasive plants spread fast, and keeping them in check is critical to maintaining a safe, open area for dogs and preserving the natural beauty of our prairie landscape. Your time and effort directly improves the park for everyone who uses it.

    It’s a great way to get outside, meet others, and make a visible impact in just a few hours. No experience needed—just bring your energy and a willingness to help.

    👉 Sign up at www.andersonparkfriends.org (visit the calendar page to register).

    Anderson Park Friends: Local hands, lasting impact.
