Healthy Forests Workday: Invasive Plant Removal at Bacon Ridge Natural Area – Scenic Rivers Land Trust

• Volunteers will be working on designated trail sections to remove specific invasive plant species.
• Volunteers will be trained in how to identify and remove these plants.
• Work gloves and tools can be provided by Scenic Rivers, though volunteers are welcome to bring their own gear.

To participate, volunteers must:

• Be 16 years or older to attend without a supervising adult. Volunteers aged 10 to 15 may attend with an accompanying adult(s) to supervise work;
• Be able to hike up to 1 mile to get to designated work areas.
• Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants, and closed toed shoes. Poison ivy is present in these work areas.
• Bring a full water bottle.

We must have at least 5 registered volunteers for the workday to proceed. So, be sure to invite some friends!
Controlling invasive species infestations is a big job and we’ll be happy to have as much help as possible!
