Newcastle Weed Warriors are volunteers working with the City of
Newcastle to reduce the negative impact of invasive and noxious weeds
in Newcastle’s parks, trails, and open spaces, and thus improving the
aesthetic and recreational quality of our public places.
Newcastle Weed Warrior projects provide volunteers the opportunity to
learn about invasive and noxious weed plants, which are environmental
menaces and wreak havoc to our environment and native species plants.
Newcastle Weed Warrior volunteers become part of the solution in solving
the invasive weed problem.

Weed Warrior volunteers are “mighty warriors” that battle against
invasive noxious weeds in our community. Battle plans include a strategy
for removal of the weeds and are often followed by a restoration plan
that stabilizes the environment and returns it to a native habitat.
The Weed Warrior program fosters an increased awareness of and
participation in local weed issues with hands on experiences in public
areas in our community.
Today’s youth will be tomorrow’s natural resource managers and
environmental stewards.
A steward is someone who takes care of another person’s affairs or
assets. Environmental stewards take care of the environment, like public
parks, trails, and natural landscapes that belong to our community.

Newcastle Weed Warriors challenges all ages to develop a sense of
connection to and responsibility for the natural landscape, public parks
and trails, thus empowering members in our community to become
environmental stewards.
Weed Warrior projects reflect the willingness of the local citizens to be
involved and take part in their community as environmental stewards.
All ages are encouraged to volunteer in the battle against invasive weeds
and become Might Weed Warriors!
