Removing Plants in the Forest
Help us remove non-native plants from around the Nature Center!

A variety of non-native, invasive plant species are present in Montgomery Parks. By their nature, these plants can take over an area quickly and threaten our native plant communities and the wildlife that depends on them.

Join one of our Weed Warrior workdays to learn how you can help control non-native, invasive plants and preserve the health of our parks! Instruction and tools will be provided. Workdays are held in parks throughout the county and are led by volunteer Weed Warrior Supervisors and/or park staff.

To see get a list of the upcoming workdays, you can either sign up on VolunteerMatch and an email with link will be sent to you, or you can go to www.MontgomeryParks.org/calendar/ and click on the Weed Warrior category below the calendar.

** Please note: Court Ordered Volunteer Hours can't be granted through this workday. **
