Join EarthCorps in removing English Ivy and Himalyan Blackberry that are growing out of control and making Washington Park Arboretum's forests sick. This 230 acre park is famous for its collection of plants from around the world, however it also boasts a sizeable urban forest that is home to native plants and wildlife.
EarthCorps supplies gloves, tools, water, light refreshments and volunteer education that covers safety, information on the park where you are working in, forest health, environmental restoration and the overview of the project. No prior experience is necessary. Bring a water bottle, sack lunch, and sturdy shoes. Come ready to get muddy and have fun!

About EarthCorps:
EarthCorps is an independent nonprofit supported by donors and volunteers. Each year we work with over 10,000 volunteers at hundreds of events around the region to improve our forests, shorelines and salmon streams. We believe that involving the community through hands on work is the best way to keep our parks healthy.
The Work We Do:
While the exact tasks at hand vary, our projects focus on improving the forests and parks in our local cities. Healthy and thriving forests are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water, absorb toxins in the air, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and they create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
In order to help create healthy forests, we focus on removing aggressive weeds (like English Ivy or Himalayan Blackberry), maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed, and planting trees and shrubs during the rainy season.
