Some amazing volunteers pulled a bunch of garlic mustard today in the Park. It is a highly invasive w**d, and if left unchecked would crowd out wildflowers and other local plants. Be careful, hikers, and clean and check your shoes and boots before hiking in public places. And it was a gorgeous day!

Are you ready to get outdoors?

Do you want to support Rib Mountain State Park?

Consider volunteering to help on one or more days to help control the highly invasive Garlic Mustard at Rib Mountain State Park on Saturday May 16th and Saturday May 30th from 9am-noon.

Volunteers can meet at the Ampitheater Parking lot and should bring work or garden gloves, water, and appropriate shoes for hiking of trail on rocky/uneven terrain. Tick repellent is also a great idea. Park officials and or Friends of Rib Mountain State Park will cover proper plant ID and distribute maps of garlic mustard patch locations.

Volunteer daily park passes will be provided to anyone who doesn’t have a park sticker.

If you have questions please feel free to call the park office at 715-842-2522

Hope to see you at the Park
