Volunteer Weed Pull Events

The City of Edmonton works with community members to stop the spread of prohibited noxious and noxious weeds listed in the Alberta Weed Control Act.

Join a Weed Pull Event

The invasive plant outreach program team is excited to steward Edmonton’s natural areas with community members by hosting Volunteer Invasive Weed Pull Events. We invite people of all ages and abilities to sign up.

Invasive species are the second biggest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. The City jointly relies on Edmonton residents to Spot, Report and Remove invasive species within our City. We are grateful for the hundreds of volunteers that have joined together to stop the spread of invasive plants, and protect Edmonton's biodiversity.

What You Can Do At Home

There are plenty of things you can do to prevent the spread of invasive species.

Avoid using invasive plants in gardens and landscaping, know what you are purchasing and planting

Pull or dig out the weed including its roots to easily control small infestations (most common in gardens)

Cut or mow shortly before or during early bloom for large stands

Discard invasive plants in sealed black garbage bags for regular garbage pickup

Never dispose of invasive plants in the compost pile or the green bin

Wear padded gloves to protect hands

Clean equipment and clothing after coming in contact with invasive weeds and the soil they are grown in
