Save the trees and the stream valley ecosystem! Join Greg Odegaarden, Weed Warrior Supervisor, for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday in Sligo Creek Stream Valley Unit 4 (between Forest Glen Road and University Blvd in Silver Spring). 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). Native Virginia creeper and poison ivy are also present and beneficial, so we will avoid those.

This event is capped at 15 people and is for people 18 years or older.

All volunteers must register online and complete a COVID-19 Volunteer Waiver. If you do not sign/ agree to the waiver, you cannot volunteer during a Weed Warrior Workday. You will complete your waiver when you create a profile in the Montgomery Parks Volunteer Database, during the online registration.
