REGISTRATION CLOSED-Weed Warrior Workday & Trash Cleanup at McKenney Hills Neighborhood Park
Saturday March 19, 2022 10:00am to 12:00pm
A variety of non-native, invasive plant species are present in Montgomery Parks. These plants can take over an area quickly and threaten our native plant communities and the wildlife that depends on them. Additionally, litter pollution often finds its way into our parks and eventually moves onto our streams, rivers, and the Atlantic Ocean. Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Rochelle for a Weed Warrior & Litter Cleanup event at McKenney Hills Neighborhood Park on March 19, 2022 from 10 am – 12 pm. (Raindate: 3/20)
Learn how you can help control non-native, invasive plants and preserve the health of our parks! Instruction and tools will be provided.
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 20 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, please email the Weed Warrior supervisor ahead of time to see whether they will have meaningful work for you to do. Volunteers 14 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
All Parks staff and volunteers must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
All volunteers must register online, submit vaccination proof, and complete a COVID-19 Volunteer Waiver. If you are not vaccinated or do not sign/agree to the waiver, you cannot volunteer during a Weed Warrior Workday. You will upload your vaccination proof and complete your waiver when you create a profile in the Montgomery Parks Volunteer Database, during the online registration. Please email Corinne (WW Volunteer Coordinator) if you need a copy of the current Weed Warrior Workday COVID protocols.
