November 15 Invasive Plant Removal at TRI

About this event

We are NPS Weed Warriors and Arlington Regional Master Naturalists and you should volunteer with us on October 18 to learn about nature and remove invasive plants from everyone's favorite urban island.

Meet us at the entrance to the bridge (on the parking lot side, look for the sign) at 10:00 and bring your garden gloves and loppers/pruners if you have them. If not, we can provide gloves and tools. Wear long sleeves and pants and don't forget a water bottle.

We will have tasks ranging from easy (cutting English ivy and honeysuckle vines from trees) to hard (sawing down bush honeysuckle).

Parking at TRI can be tight if it's a pretty day. When the parking lot is full, you can park in Rosslyn and take the trail down. If you can bike or walk or take public transit, that's wonderful.

We'll see you there! Erica, Stephanie, and Heidi

P.S. If you can't wait until then to RIP (Remove Invasive Plants!), go here to find more volunteer opportunities in Arlington parks: Volunteer to Restore Native Habitat – Arlington Regional Master Naturalists (armn.org)
