Invasive Houndstongue Removal at Tracy Hill
Come spend the morning stewarding on Tracy Hill which overlooks the Catherine Creek Day Use Area. Invasive European houndstongue was recently spotted here and now is the time to remove it before it begins to spread! Tracy Hill is an undeveloped USFS site due north of Catherine Creek Day Use area. Volunteers will learn how to identify both the invasive houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale) and our native Pacific houndstongue (Adelinia grande).
