Join Meredith from CCAN to remove Invasive Vines at Catholic University.

We will meet in the parking lot of Carlini Field at 2:30pm. We will be working in the woods by the athletic fields.

We will spend the first 30 minutes doing a brief training on invasive vines and best practices for removal, and spend about 2 hours removing vines from the trees. We will focus on non-native invasive vines including porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata) and English ivy (Hedera helix).

Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and close-toed shoes. Instructions and tools will be provided, so just bring yourself and a good attitude! A reminder email will be sent out the day before with detailed instructions on where to meet.

This project is sponsored through a partnership between CCAN and Casey Trees, and is funded in part by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
