CANCELED:

Ogden Road and River Road, Bethesda

Join weed warriors to remove English ivy from trees along River Road.

English Ivy is an aggressive non-native which over time can kill the trees. The ivy growth crowds the tree branches blocking sunlight trees need to make food. Vines can weigh a tree branch down, putting it at a higher risk of breaking in a storm. And over time, an ivy invasion weakens a tree, making it a target for opportunistic pests.

We will remove the ivy using hand tools. Bring gloves or clippers or use ours. Wear long sleeves, long pants and closed toe shoes and bring water to drink.

Park on Odgen and meet us at the corner.

Pre-approved for MCPS SSL hours. Students under 14 years must be accompanied by responsible adult.

Weather policy: We usually hold pulls as long as there is not pouring rain or deep snow. We will post messages on the LFWA list serv or website by 9:00 that morning if we need to cancellation.
