Vegetation removal at Four Mile Run South

The Friends of Mount Vernon Trail will be improving the trail south of Four Mile Run trail intersection with the Mount Vernon Trail. We'll be removing invasive honeysuckle growing into the trail.

Volunteers may perform some of the following work:

• Using pruners and loppers to cut vegetation
• Using hand saws to cut branches
• Hauling away vegetation and fallen tree branches
• Picking up trash

What to Bring:

• Water
• Gloves (We'll have some to borrow)
• Long sleeves and long pants (to prevent poison ivy)

Where to Meet:

See the picture below of where to meet on the trail. The work area is at the intersection of the Mount Vernon Trail and Four Mile Run SOUTH of bridge. See the image below for the meeting location.
