Save the trees
Join Chuck, Weed Warrior Supervisor, for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Blueberry Hill Local Park in Derwood. We will focus on non-native, invasive vines and shrubs, including Asian bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) and wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius).
The exact meeting location will be emailed to all pre-registrants prior to the event.
Please wear long pants that cover your ankles, long sleeves, and sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Bring gloves, pruners, small folding hand saws and/or loppers if you have them. 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 under 16 are not permitted to use tools, so if you are under 16, you will be helping to rip wineberry out of the ground. Volunteers 14 and under must be accompanied by a pre-registered, responsible adult.
