Poison hemlock is widespread in the Creston Valley; and it’s not just another weed. It’s highly toxic, invasive, and harmful to people, pets, and livestock.
But now, there’s a way to fight back.
By joining the Poison Hemlock Patrol, you can help map and manage this plant, and get paid to do it. The Crowdsorsa app makes it easy to participate in real-world detection missions, with training provided through the app and by our team at the booth.
Join the mission. Help protect Creston. Let’s root out poison hemlock together.
We look forward to seeing you there!
CKISS thanks the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation for supporting the Poison Hemlock Patrol. Partnerships like this help protect BC’s wildlife, fish, and habitats.
