This Saturday 7-20: Help save trees in Rock Creek
"Save the Trees" invasives removal
Rays Meadow (meet by the playground)
Sat, 7/20 9-11 am
Some young trees along the Creek at Ray's Meadow are nearly smothered by invasive plants. So we're going out to save them. These trees are particularly important because they help stabilize the Creek bank and protect it from erosion.
Task: Pulling/cutting invasive vines from trees near the Creek.
Special Guest: Steve Peck, MoCo Forest Conservation Inspector, will help us locate the endangered trees, and he's also great at identifying many native and non-native flora in the park.
Please RSVP to tom@smerling.com so I can get a head count.
