Honeysuckle and Wintercreeper removal at St. Vincent Park

REGISTER NOW

Join us for a volunteer workday to remove honeysuckle and wintercreeper at St. Vincent Park on Sunday, June 6. This event will also provide information about an exciting opportunity for you to volunteer with the Community Stewardship Alliance program which launched in 2021.

Check-in and registration is at 8:45 a.m. After entering the park, volunteers will turn right at the first road and follow it until it ends at a parking lot. There will be signs posted with arrows for directions.

Volunteers will be cutting honeysuckle and treating with herbicide and hand-pulling wintercreeper. Please come dressed for the weather. Please bring your own filled water bottle to the event. Work gloves and tools will be provided.

COVID-19 precautions: Space for this event is limited and registration is required. No walk-ups will be admitted. To ensure the space remains uncrowded, volunteer spots for this cleanup are limited, so secure your spot quickly! Participants will receive their own pair of gloves and tools will be provided by the Open Space Council. All tools and equipment will be sanitized prior to the event. Social distancing must be observed throughout the entire workday and face masks are required.
