Thistle Throw Down in the Volcanic Tablelands

Thistle Throw Down in the Volcanic Tablelands

Join us for an evening of stewardship and community at the Happys! We're taking on invasive Russian Thistle—a thorny menace that crowds out native plants and makes hiking and climbing less fun for everyone.
