PUNCTUREVINE: TRAIL SEGMENT MAPS
Here are maps of each trail segment, from east to west, that needs to be adopted.
You’d be committing to monitor a section of trail (and the vegetation near the trail) about every 2 weeks from early April to late September; remove small numbers of plants; and request help with larger infestations.
NOTE: Some sections of the trail have two parallel trails, such as on either side of the S-Line Streetcar tracks. You would monitor both sides.

Goathead seedling. Get ‘em while they’re babies!
QUIZ: Can you spot the goathead and its center knot where you’d pull the plant?
There’s several look-alike weeds in the photo below.
