Save the Trees
Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Jesse for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Norwood Park in Bethesda. We will focus on non-native, invasive vines and shrubs, especially English ivy (Hedera helix), roundleaf bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and bush honeysuckle (Lonicera spp). Native Virginia creeper and poison ivy are also present and beneficial, so we will avoid those.
Exact meeting and parking instructions will be sent to all pre-registrants prior to the event.
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 15 people.
This workday is pre-approved for MCPS SSL hours. Volunteers must be 16 years or older to join this event.
