Remove Invasive Plants at Potomac Overlook

Next date: Saturday, April 01, 2023 | 09:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Do you like working outside? Join community volunteers in protecting the local environment from non-native invasive plants and replacing them with native plants. This is a continuing project on the first Saturday of each month to reclaim Potomac Overlook Regional Park from non-native invasive plants.

If you have your own garden gloves and tools, please bring them along.  If not, they will be given to you. Training and additional tools will be provided.  Be sure to come dressed for work, wear long pants, long sleeves and perhaps a hat.  You may also want to bring along your own water bottle, but bottled water and snacks will be provided.

Volunteers under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult.  If you are 16 or 17 years old and plan to volunteer without a parent or guardian, they will either need to sign the registration form at the beginning of the event in person, or you may print and fill out the "Group Registration Youth" form at the sign-up link under "Related Files" on Sign-Up Genius and have your parent or guardian sign it in advance. Make sure you bring it with you on the day of our event.

Meet at the covered picnic facility next to the parking lot located behind the park entrance sign.

Site leaders: Gary Shinners, Anne McKnight
