Description
The NPS Invasive Plant Management Team is hosting non-native invasive plant removal event in honor of National Public Lands Day at RFK Meadows/the entrance of Kingman and Heritage Islands Park along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail.
This is a volunteer effort to help rescue green spaces from non-native invasive species through the hands-on removal of especially harmful trees, vines, and flowering plants.
During the events, participants will learn how to identify and control several non-native invasive plants threatening our natural communities. Help us restore and protect natural areas in our community by removing invasive plants!
Please wear sturdy shoes, pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. All supplies will be provided. Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older to particpate.
All volunteers will receive a public lands fee-free coupon.
