There is probably a good chance that you have heard of the new group of warriors at Fort Ord. Yes, we are talking about the Weed Warriors. The Weed Warriors tirelessly travel the lengths of the Fort Ord Weed Management Area in search of nasty, invasive weeds and new recruits. All of this work is done to promote the rejuvenation and health of important native plant communities on Fort Ord.

BLM is not alone in the battle, but also has proud partnerships with fellow Weed Warriors at California State University Monterey Bay's Watershed Institute, the Army, the Student Conservation Association, Monterey County and hundreds of community volunteers. Weed Warriors have been present at local schools, fairs, and group meetings have thown numerous weed bashes and native plant restoration celebrations. You might recognize them grooving to live music and munching down on good food after a hard day's work. To join the fight, call the BLM office at 831-394-8314.
