Time: 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Meeting Location: Heurich Park: We will be meeting at Heurich Park parking lot at Nicholson Street and Ager Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782. If coming from Ager Road you would make the first left on Nicholson Street right by the Dog Park, drive 400 yards until you get to the parking lot right by the athletic field (Map).
Description: Volunteers will join the Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) for a Habitat Restoration Workday at Heurich Park! We will focus on tree maintenance, taking care of the native trees we planted over 9 years ago. Tree care will include repairing tree shelters and fencing, and removing invasive vines to allow the native trees to continue to flourish. Maintaining these trees is important because they help to manage stormwater and filter surface water before it goes into the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River. These trees also help to reduce soil erosion, provide food and shelter for a variety of birds and animals, and capture carbon emissions in the environment.
By participating in this project you will not only have the opportunity to learn about invasive plants and the ecology of the Anacostia River, you will help us to improve the habitat for wildlife and the water quality of the Anacostia River.
