Celebrate National Public Lands Day, World Rivers Day, and save the trees and the Rock Creek Stream Valley!

Save the trees and the stream valley ecosystem! Join Chuck Woolery, Weed Warrior Supervisor, for a Sunday morning non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Rock Creek Stream Valley Unit 7. We will be focusing on non-native, invasive vines and shrubs, including porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata), wintercreeper (Euonymus fortunei), English ivy (Hedera helix), Japanese barberry (Berberisthunbergii), and bush honeysuckle (mainly Lonicera maackii). We will be meeting in Rock Creek Stream Valley Unit 7, off of Twinbrook Parkway, where Pinneberg Ave and Marcia Lane meet. Please be mindful of our neighbors.

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.
