One project that our council is especially excited about is our garlic mustard project at Valley of the Rogue State Park (VRSP). In 2007 the only known garlic mustard population in Southern Oregon was identified at VRSP. This turned out to be a much bigger problem than anyone thought, too big for the park to handle on its own. The council organized a collaborative effort to start treatment, develop a treatment plan, and secure funding. In 2008, 64 volunteers and a BLM contracted crew pulled 125 garbage bags of garlic mustard out of the park! It’s just the beginning!
