Weed Wrangle at Renaissance Park
ORGANIZATION: City of Chattanooga
Please visit the new page to apply.
Weed Wrangle(r), is a one-day, citywide, volunteer effort to help rescue our public parks and green spaces from invasive species through hands-on removal of especially harmful trees, vines and flowering plants, such as honeysuckle, Chinese privet, English ivy, and kudzu.
Renaissance Park is part of the downtown Riverparks system and has walking paths through wooded areas that are being invaded by unwanted plants. Supervised by experts in invasive weed management, Weed Wrangle(r)-volunteers will learn, practice, and begin a habit of maintaining an area free of invasive plants.
All tools will be provided. Please wear long pants and close-toed shoes. Bring gloves if you have them. Work will be on uneven terrain.
