There is a good chance you have heard of the new group of Warriors on the former Fort Ord.  Yes, we are talking about the Weed Warriors.  The Weed Warriors tirelessly travel the lengths of the former Fort Ord in a search-and-destroy mode for nasty, invasive, exotic weeds.  All of this work is done to promote the rejuvenation and health of important native plant communities on the former Fort Ord.

The BLM is not alone in this battle of the war and has proud partnerships with fellow Weed Warriors in the Return of the Natives program from California State University, Monterey Bay's Watershed Institute, the U.S. Army, the Student Conservation Association, Monterey County, and hundreds of community volunteers.  Weed Warriors have attended local schools, fairs, and meetings to recruit Warriors for numerous weed bashes and native plant restoration celebrations.  To join the fight call the BLM Fort Ord Project Office at (831) 394-8314 or visit the BLM California Noxious and Invasive Weeds web page to learn more about weeds management.
