Then and Now
What was once the Garlic Mustard Challenge and then the Spring Invasive Species Challenge has bloomed anew as the TSN Spring Challenge in 2022. We’ve added more ways to help so everyone can get outside and get involved during this vital season. What hasn’t changed is the importance of this program, which since its first iteration in 2008 has pulled together over 18,000 people to create over $6.7 million in workhour value while removing over 2.3 million pounds of invasive plant species from local ecosystems.
While the Spring Challenge has grown in scope to include activities beyond its invasive species tradition, groups focused on that form of stewardship remain warmly welcomed and strongly encouraged to participate. Visit the COMPETE area to learn more or reach out to us via staff@stewardshipnetwork.org with any questions. Thank you for your support!
