Weed Wrangle: Remove Invasive Plants at Overton Park

This experience has influenced my future career goals by incorporating ways I can help nature bloom especially with pollution and climate change being one of our big issues I todays world.
I learned how Overton Park is big and has nice pathways to go for a run which is why it is important for volunteers to help out to conserve parks for Memphians and tourists to enjoy!
In this service, I met another Memphis student. She is a psychology major and was very interesting seeing her perspective on this service because she thought removing invasive plants was harming the environment since she thought it was part of nature for those invasive plants to get there through birds, wind, etc.
I will continue to volunteer with this organization since I want Memphis to become better and have nice things for us to stay rather to leave.
Next time I volunteer, I will bring gloves and download an app to help distinguish different types of plants.
