Weed Warrior Workday at Sligo/Bullis Park - National Public Lands Day
About
Save the trees, protect the Sligo Creek watershed, and celebrate National Public Lands Day Join Weed Warrior Supervisor Alexander for a non-native, invasive plant removal workday at Bullis Park in Silver Spring. Plan to meet at the bleachers on Easley Street. We will focus on non-native, invasive vines, including porcelainberry ( Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata) , wintercreeper ( Euonymus fortunei ), and English ivy ( Hedera helix). Native Virginia creeper and poison ivy are also present and beneficial, so we will avoid those. 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. Please note: Court Ordered Volunteer Hours can’t be granted through this workday. This event is capped at 15 people. This workday is pre-approved for MCPS SSL hours.
