CANCELLED: Weed Warrior Workday in Rachel Carson Conservation Park

Per the announcement that Montgomery Parks programs are cancelled and facilities are closed, all group volunteer projects are cancelled through June 30th due to COVID-19. 

Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Steve Parks for a non-native, invasive plant removal “work party” in Rachel Carson Conservation Park. We will focus on hand-pulling young winged burning bush (Euonymus alatus).

Please wear long pants that cover your ankles, long sleeves, and sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Bring gloves, Weed Wrenches, pruners, and 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.

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 under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Meet at the parking lot: 22201 Zion Road, Brookeville, Maryland

To sign-up, contact Steve at 240-688-8757 or crit40day@gmail.com
