- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Our native trees, ferns and wildflowers are under attack by invasive exotic plants like Garlic Mustard, English Ivy, Japanese Honeysuckle and Bamboo. That is why we need warriors like you to join us in rescuing Reston’s beautiful parkland from these aggressive plants. These fast growing, invasive plants escape from people’s yards and seriously threaten local ecosystems, taking away vital food and habitat from already stressed wildlife populations. Please join us and spend a couple hours in our parkland protecting our forests every fourth Saturday of each month as we help restore Reston’s forests to their natural state.
Note: Children are encouraged to bring their own favorite garden gloves.
