River Weed Rodeo
River Weed Rodeo is hosted in June. Groups will have a full day of rafting with one of the four commercial raft companies or by joining the group of private boaters. Along the way the group will stop and listen to a short educational talk on noxious weeds led by a local weed expert. All participants need to bring leather gloves for hand pulling weeds. The Middle Fork of the Flathead is a beautiful free flowing river that is protected by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The native plants and animals on the river corridor would appreciate your help. Email riverweedrodeo@gmail.com or visit River Weed Rodeo website for more information.
The Weed Rodeo is a noxious weed pulling event on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River that started in 2003. Private volunteers combine with commercial rafting outfitters, government organizations, non-profits and local businesses to hand pull weeds along our beautiful river corridor.
