Time: 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Meeting Location: Colmar Manor Community Park, Colmar Manor Maryland, near the DC/MD line: 3510 37th Ave, Colmar Manor, MD 20722 (Map). From Bladensburg Road in Colmar Manor, turn south onto 37th Ave., between the IHOP and the Ft. Lincoln Cemetery. Take your first right into the park and follow the road until you are able to make a left towards the basketball court parking lot (just past the baseball field).
Description: Volunteers will join the Anacostia Watershed Society and Bat Conservation International for a Habitat Restoration Workday along the Anacostia River at Colmar Manor Community Park! During this workday we will focus on removing invasive plants to clear an area along the Anacostia River in preparation for a bat tree planting later this spring! The tree canopy along this stretch of the Anacostia River has been devastated by the invasive emerald ash borer beetle. Planting more native and bat-friendly trees that are not affected by the beetle will help us to restore the tree canopy, prevent erosion of the riverbank, manage stormwater and filter surface water before it goes into the Anacostia River, and create habitat for wildlife. By participating in this project, you will help us to improve the water quality of the Anacostia River and the habitat for bats and other wildlife.
