Buckflats Field Day
In 2005, the Topley 4-H Club organized a handpulling day at Buckflats, a location where field scabious infestation has been controlled in part by members of the community during the last two decades. A second 4-H club became involved in addition to the Topley club, and 37 participants including many local private landowners came out to pull field scabious and leafy spurge in June 2006. In June 2008, the Topley 4-H Club again organized local 4-H clubs and interested community members to continue this annual event. This is a very successful event for its value in developing awareness, education, community engagement and controlling the infestation.
