About this event
Join the Durham Wildlife Stewards and Rewild NC on Saturday, Nov 7 from 10AM-12PM for an Invasive Plant Removal Workshop and Workday at Sandy Creek Park (3510 Sandy Creek Dr) .
The training portion will be held from 10-11AM. You’ll learn to recognize the target invasive plants, which tools to remove them with, and methods of removal.
From 11AM to 12:30PM, volunteers will put their new skills to use to tackle one segment of trail all together.
CLOSED TOED FOOTWEAR AND LONG PANTS ARE REQUIRED ATTIRE FOR THESE EVENTS. Any volunteers who show up wearing shorts and/or sandals will be turned away for their own safety. Long sleeves and tall socks are also recommended to protect from exposure to poison ivy, brambles, and insect bites.
Please bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Tools and gloves will be provided but we encourage volunteers with their own labeled pruners and saws to bring them along.
Volunteers between the ages of 13-15 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event. This type of event is not recommended for volunteers under the age of 13.
