Healthy Forests Workday Volunteer Registration
Spring 2024 | ||||||||||
Protect the Health of YOUR Local Forest: Join us at Bacon Ridge Natural Area in Crownsville to spend a morning removing invasive vines, shrubs, and grasses from along the trails!
Scenic Rivers’ Healthy Forests Program engages community volunteers to help protect the long-term vitality of our largest conservation easement located within Bacon Ridge Natural Area.
Our fall 2023 workday will focus on invasive vines, shrubs, and grasses. These aggressive invaders threaten beneficial, native vegetation at all levels of the forest from the ground up into the forest canopy.
Event Details
Volunteers will be working on designated trail sections to remove specific invasive plant species.
Volunteers will be trained in how to identify and remove these invasive plants.
Work gloves and tools can be provided by Scenic Rivers, though volunteers are welcome to bring their own gear.
To participate, volunteers must:
We must have at least 5 registered volunteers for the workday to proceed. So, be sure to invite some friends!
Controlling invasive species infestations is a big job and we’ll be happy to have as much help as possible.
