About this Event

The Friends of Mount Vernon Trail will be improving the trail south of Four Mile Run trail near Daingerfield Island. 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 between Four Mile Run Trail and Daingerfield Island. See the image below for the meeting location.
