Help us remove invasive honeysuckle to make way for native shrubs!
Registration is required so we can communicate in case of any necessary changes.
The spring planting season is warming up, and at Girty's Woods that means we need to do some spring cleaning. Join us for a Friday evening honeysuckle hunt! We'll be removing invasive bush honeysuckle plants near some of Girty's newest trails to open up growing space for native shrubs. It's a big task, and we can't do it without your help!
Volunteers will work with shovels, handsaws, pickaxes, and weed wrenches to remove invasive honeysuckle. Please work within your comfort and ability.
Tools and gloves will be provided. Participants should dress appropriately for working in dense brush: long sleeves, long pants, and close-toed shoes are required.
This event will take place rain or shine, but we will reschedule in case of thunderstorms or strong wind. Children are welcome and must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring a reusable water bottle. There are no restrooms on site.
