NEW LOCATION: Meet at the Indian River Park Miller Avenue Entrance - at south end of Miller Avenue. GPS address 2329 Miller Avenue, Chesapeake, Virginia
Learn to identify various invasive plant species that threaten Indian River Park and natural areas across the Tidewater region. Those found in the park include English Ivy, Chinese Privet, Multifloral Rose, Linden Viburnum, and others.

Then we'll have a work effort to manage some outbreaks of the English Ivy. The more volunteers that come out the more that we can accomplish!
Please wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, a hat and bring work gloves. Bring pruning clippers, loppers, screwdrivers (which are amazingly useful in prying ivy off tree trunks) and/or pruning saws if you have them.
We will have water and snacks but we also always encourage folks to bring their own water in reusable bottles to minimize use of plastic bottles. Participants under 18 years of age must have adult supervision.
Please pre-register at https://forms.gle/r1paWMWKGaJ4HjAa6, suggested but not required.
