Save the trees and protect the stream valley ecosystem
Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Monica for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Rock Creek Regional Park (Lake Frank area) in Rockville/Aspen Hill. We will focus on non-native, invasive vines and shrubs, including roundleaf bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata), Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora). Please note, the barberry and multiflora rose have thorns!
We are meeting close to Emory Lane. The exact meeting location will be emailed to all pre-registrants prior to the event.
