Goat heads, also known as puncture vines, are an invasive species that can produce up to 5,000 thorned seeds on single plant. Columbia Village has a bumper crop of goat heads this year. If you are tired of finding these nasty thorns in your bicycle and stroller tires, pet paws, and shoes, please join our community's volunteer group led by one of our homeowners for a Goathead Weed Pulling Session on July 31 from 7:00-9:00AM.

 

What: Columbia Village Goathead Weed Pulling Session.
