Celebrate Earth Month with Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission! Join us to remove invasive vines at Bladensburg Community Center in Bladensburg, MD.
We will meet in the parking lot of the community center at 4pm. We will be working in the woods directly adjacent to the parking lot.
We will spend the first 15 minutes doing a brief training on invasive vines and best practices for removal, and spend about 2 hours removing vines from the trees. We will focus on non-native invasive vines including porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata) and English ivy (Hedera helix).
Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and close-toed shoes. Instructions and tools will be provided, so just bring yourself and a good attitude! A reminder email will be sent out the day before with detailed instructions on where to meet.
This project is sponsored through a partnership between CCAN and Casey Trees, and is funded in part by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
