Save the Trees
Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Jesse for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Burning Tree Park (7904 Beechtree Road, Bethesda).
We will focus on non-native, invasive vines, especially English ivy (Hedera helix), porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa), and roundleaf bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) . Native Virginia creeper and poison ivy are also present and beneficial, so we will avoid those.
Exact parking and meeting 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.
