Save the trees and the stream valley ecosystem
Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Maria for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Rock Creek Stream Valley Unit 6. We will focus on non-native, invasive vines, especially large roundleaf bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus). Native vines, including native grape, are also present and beneficial, so we will avoid those.
We will meet in Rock Creek Stream Valley Unit 6, at the end of Crossfield Court, Rockville. Click here for a map of 5101 Crossfield Ct . Instructions will be sent after you register.
