Come help pull and remove ivy from our community park!
Removing invasive English ivy restores habitat for native plants, trees, and wildlife. Ivy reduces wildlife habitat by at least 80%.
This event is a collaboration between the City of Ridgefield and the Ridgefield Garden Club.
Time:
8:45 AM– Sign-In
9 AM–noon - Removal
We will have a short demonstration at 9 and then begin ivy removal. Volunteers are welcome to spend as much time at the event as they have available - we'll take all the help we can get!
Parking: Park anywhere in the Abrams Park lot and look for the registration table.
How to Prepare:
Please RSVP to let us know you are attending.
Wear clothes that can get dirty and that are appropriate to the weather. Sturdy shoes/boots strongly recommended.
We will have gloves and tools, though you are welcome to bring your own. (We really mainly use our hands not tools!)
Bring your own water and snacks!
This work is a little strenuous and includes bending, pulling, as well as walking and standing on uneven terrain with possible tripping hazards.
