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

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

Join one of our Weed Warrior workdays to learn how you can help NNI's 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 find out about upcoming workdays, visit the Montgomery Parks' Event Calendar at Calendar - Montgomery Parks. Make sure that the filter "Weed Warrior" has been used, so you only see those events!
