Weed Wrangle at the Nature Center

Weed Wrangle at the Nature Center Saturday, October 3, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Join Rock Creek Conservancy and the National Park Service for this invasive plant removal restoration event in Rock Creek Park. Invasive plants are a major threat to our fragile forests, and stopping their spread helps allow native plants to thrive in the understory. This event is part of an area-wide volunteer-powered effort to help rescue our public parks and green spaces from non-native invasive species. Event location, directions, and information will be sent from the event leader 48 hours prior to the event. REGISTER HERE Reminder: Registration will close at 5:00 PM the day before the event.
