May 28th 2025 ( 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM )
Friends of the Reedy River is holding our second Volunteer Work Day at Reedy River Meadow on Wednesday, May 28 from 8:30 - 11:30 AM!
Come join us to remove invasive plant species to make room for native plants! Our goal is to create a native plant meadow along the Reedy River. We will teach volunteers about the importance of meadows, native plants, riparian buffer zones, and proper identification and removal of invasive plant species - specifically hand-pulling invasive plant species and small saplings.
We will focus on removing invasive species by hand. We will help volunteers correctly identify desirable versus undesirable vegetation, making this a great opportunity for all experience levels!
Please come prepared to get dirty -- long pants & closed toe shoes are strongly recommended. Please bring a water bottle, sun protection or rain gear, gardening gloves if you have them, and any other supplies you will need to feel comfortable in a group outdoors, such as a chair or a kneeling pad. All other supplies and tools will be provided.
Thank you for your interest in supporting Friends of the Reedy River! We look forward to seeing you soon!
