Blueweed Blitz 
Contribute your own comments and rating Description of Volunteer Opportunity
Blueweed Blitz is an annual event where volunteers travel with landowners to remote sections of the Pincher Creek to pick, bag and remove noxious and invasive weeds from the shoreline of the creek.
Volunteers arrive at a central location at 9:30 AM to be assigned to a length of the creek and a landowner volunteer. Tools are distributed at the meeting place and you are driven to your area where you spend the day removing these invasive species.

Expenses Volunteer Should Expect
No expenses. Tools are provided. Afterwards, there is an appreciation dinner for all of the volunteers.
A lot of fun. A bit of work, but everyone is going at their own pace. No boss is yelling at you, and you get to see some amazing spots along the creek that you never see otherwise. Afterwards, the dinner was a good time and the awards were good for a few laughs.
All in all, a great way to help the creek.
