Help Remove Invasive Vines on Plummers Island

Location: Plummers Island, near Lock 10 along the C&O Canal  9am-1pm

Come on out and help us cut bittersweet vines and bush honeysuckle shrubs--we found some enormous ones out on Plummers Island! After cutting the plants with loppers and hand saws a Conservancy staffer paints the stumps with an herbicide to stop resprouting.

Meet at the lock 10 parking area along the C&O Canal (accessible only heading south on the Clara Barton Parkway). Email for directions. Bring lunch and water.

To sign up and get directions, contact Jamie at PotomacGorgeVol (at) tnc.org or call 301-897-8570.
