Join us as we remove invasive dandelions from the alpine zone! Dandelions are not native to the Northeast summits and pose a risk to rare alpine tundra species. As a hub for hikers, who can unknowingly transport dandelion seeds on their boots and gear, the area around Lakes of the Clouds Hut is becoming impacted by a robust dandelion population that may outcompete native species and seed additional alpine dandelion populations. AMC volunteers and staff are partnering with the USFS to protect the alpine zone by digging out as many of these dandelions as possible.

This event will begin at 11:00 am at Lakes of the Clouds Hut on July 9th as long as permitted by alpine weather. Participants will need to hike up to Lake of the Clouds Hut to participant before this event starts.
