This event is coordinated by Rock Creek Conservancy. Please direct questions to Emily Starobin at estarobin@rockcreekconservancy.org. To RSVP, visit https://publicevents.secure.force.com/Public_Event_Signup_Page?cid=7010g0000016cusAAA
Join Rock Creek Conservancy and the National Park Service as we clean up and restore one of our "mini-oases", Trail #9. In 2019, the Conservancy is focusing its restoration efforts on five "mini-oases" in Rock Creek Park in addition to the normal volunteer locations throughout the Rock Creek Watershed. These areas have been strategically chosen because they are important to the health of Rock Creek and they are important to the communities that live near them. Invasive plant species are one of the biggest issues plaguing this urban park. We invite you to join Rock Creek Conservancy to help keep this "mini-oasis" clean. We hope to see you there!
You MUST register for this event: see registration link above
