Guinea Grass Pull Party

Looking to volunteer at a Texas State Park? Now is your opportunity!
Guinea grass was originally introduced as a grazing grass for cattle. Unfortunately, it's now widespread and harms other native grasses.

Weather: This program is weather dependent, and we expect a wet summer. Please be sure to check back for regular updates!
When: 9:00-10:00am
