Save the trees and protect the Sligo Creek watershed
Join Weed Warrior Supervisors Ed and Ross for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday at Evans Parkway Neighborhood Park in Silver Spring. The exact meeting location will be emailed to all pre-registrants
We will focus on non-native, invasive vines, including Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata), wintercreeper (Euonymus fortunei), and English ivy (Hedera helix). Native Virginia creeper and poison ivy may be present; we will avoid these native beneficial species.
Please wear long pants that cover your ankles, tall socks, long sleeves, and sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Bring gloves, pruners, small folding hand saws and/or loppers if you have them. Gardening-type gloves and tools are available to borrow if you don’t have your own. No power tools or machetes allowed. Please bring water to drink. Please note: Court Ordered Volunteer Hours can’t be granted through this workday.
This event is capped at 10 people.
This workday is pre-approved for MCPS SSL hours. Volunteers must be 16 years or older to join this event.
