Greenbelt Presidents' Day Volunteer Event
Volunteer opportunity to protect trees in Buddy Attick Park from beavers and invasive species.
Volunteers are needed for a service-learning event on Presidents Day to protect trees from beavers and invasive species in Buddy Attick Park. Meet in the Department of Public Works for the event from 10:30 AM - 1 PM.
Be a part of the community effort to protect trees from beaver herbivory and invasive species at Buddy Attick Park. Volunteers will work with Public Works staff to learn how to identify slow-growth native and nonnative trees, as well as the invasive species, English ivy. Wire caging will be placed around the trunks of native trees to protect them from beaver herbivory, and hand shears will be used to remove English ivy from taking over the forest.
RSVP to Connor Roessler at croessler@greenbeltmd.gov or 240-542-2150.
Reminders:
Wear weather appropriate clothes and closed-toed shoes
Bring your reusable water bottle
High school students: remember your service-learning forms!
Meet inside Public Works (down the hill through the gate) at 10:30 AM
