Save the trees
Join Weed Warrior Supervisor John for an invasive plant removal workday in Washington Grove Meadow. The exact meeting location will be emailed to all pre-registrants prior to the event.
Please note, there are no restroom facilities at this park.
We will focus on non-native, invasive vines and shrubs, including round-leaf bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), English ivy (Hedera helix), and wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius).
Please wear long pants that cover your ankles, tall socks, long sleeves, and sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and drinking water as we will be in the sun. Bring gloves, pruners, flathead screwdrivers, weed wrenches/uprooters, 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 note: Court Ordered Volunteer Hours can’t be granted through this event.
This event is capped at 10 people.
