This extremely invasive, non-native plant is a massive problem we hope to mitigate this spring and summer. The wet winter/spring last season created the perfect conditions for a complete thistle explosion in the Eastern Sierra! 💥 Piles of tumbleweeds filled with thousands of painful thorns and seeds completely smothered our beloved canyon. 😢 This incredibly aggressive plant has been outcompeting key native species and making for rather unpleasant climbing. With YOUR help, we can hopefully prevent another Russian Thistle takeover. 🥊 Now is the time to get to work as new thistle sprouts have already started to come up. Fortunately for us, this new growth has not had the chance to develop seeds or those pesky thorns. Come join us as we battle it out against this detrimental invasive species! Sign up here!
