Dear Rock Creek Steward,
Thank you for volunteering your time tomorrow, Saturday, February 25th to help Rock Creek Conservancy and the National Park Service restore Rock Creek and its parklands.
We will be focusing our efforts on invasive plants from one of our mini-oases, Fort Slocum Park! Invasive plants compete with native species for resources and can prevent new native plants from establishing and thriving.
Thank you for tackling this invasive removal with us!
