Weed Warriors

Weed Warriors is an outdoor, hands-on, educational workshop that strives to enhance the environment by removing invasive plants. As part of the Spruce Up St. Albert program, Weed Warriors teaches students and community members of all ages how to identify invasive weeds, safe removal processes and supports the growth of native plant species. 

Invasive plants often compete with native plants, affecting biodiversity in natural areas. This negatively impacts many living organisms that rely on native plants for food or as homes in our ecosystems. The City of St. Albert is committed to protecting and re-storing biodiversity in our community’s natural areas. Light refreshments as well as gloves are provided. 

Thank you to the 85 participants who joined us in 2026 to pull weeds, care for natural areas, and learn about protecting local eco systems, building both a healthier environment and stronger community connections!
