The Magnuson Park Wetlands need your help removing invasive blackberry shrubs. By no means should this volunteer project be confused with blackberry picking, which is done in the height of summer and rewards you with a pail full of delicious bounty. On the contrary, this activity takes place in the dead of winter and you’ll be rewarded with scratched-up arms and soggy boots. However, native plant species will be grateful for your hard work.

You will pry my Blackberry from my cold dead berry-stained hands …
ooh, look, an iPhone … never mind.
Invasive? Easy there Diceman, what is this, the 1950’s?! I think they prefer the term “non-aboriginal ursinus.”
Himalayan Blackberries SUCK. Cut Leafs are barely better. Fuck them both. KILL ALL NON-NATIVE BLACKBERRIES!
Will this involve goats?
Goats eat cellphones?
Would goats be enough? Entrenched blackberries usually call for sterner measures, like backhoes or artillery strikes.
it’s cool that you are plugging this.
