Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Maria for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Rock Creek Stream Valley Unit 6. We will focus on non-native, invasive vines, especially wisteria (Wisteria floribunda). Native vines, including native grape, are also present and beneficial, so we will avoid those.
We will meet in Rock Creek Stream Valley Unit 6, at the Parklawn Community Garden (12718 Veirs Mill Road, Rockville). Instructions will be sent after you register.
Please wear long pants that cover your ankles, tall socks, long sleeves, and sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Bring gloves, pruners, 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 bring water to drink.
Each volunteer must register directly with Montgomery Parks with their own account.
This workday is pre-approved for MCPS SSL hours. Volunteers must be 16 years or older to join this event.
- For questions about the event, contact Weed Warrior Supervisor Maria.
