The Come Back Kid Campaign

Noxious Weeds Identification

The Come Back Kid Campaign's goal is to reduce or eliminate Canada Thistle and Purple Loosestrife in the Jackman Coulee.

Canada Thistle Zone in Highland Acres Park

One way to help reduce the spread of Canada Thistle and Purple Loosestrife is to bring awareness. Seed can be spread by walking your dog through infested areas.

Goats are another type of biological agent. They naturally  eliminate noxious weeds.

Alternative Biological Agents

Goats can be part of an effective management plan for invasive weeds in areas that are sensitive wetlands or riparian habitats.

Winter and the Come Back Kid

The Afterschool Place at Highland Acres received 24" of snow in  November 2022's blizzard.
