Help treat and remove a variety of invasive plants species at Cartier Park. A discussion to help identify these plants will take place at 6:30 pm. Meet at the dog park by at the end of Rath Ave. The Mason-Lake Conservation District is bring pulling tools to pull out the barberry with, but if you have a good pair of clippers, bring them also. Since the ticks favor the barberry, please abide by the following safety precautions for this invasive species.

Get the Hint, Don’t Leave Your Footprint”: What is Household Hazardous Waste?

Every third Saturday in August, since 2007, the conservation districts in Manistee, Mason, and Oceana Counties offer three collection sites for the community to safely dispose of household hazardous waste (HHW) and agricultural pesticides. Each location also collects pharmaceuticals, batteries, recyclable oil, oil-based paints, electronics and appliances from households. The HHW project takes year-long planning and a dedicated committee of conservation district staff and volunteers for a successful collection day. Throughout the year leading up to the HHW collection, the committee requests funding allocations, manage outreach activities, hire professional waste disposal or recycling services, and gather volunteers and supplies needed for the collection day. During collection day, committee members help supervise each of the three sites to make sure the event runs smoothly. The HHW project would not be possible without the dedicated committee members and numerous volunteers that work hard every year for a successful event.
