Join the city of Ridgefield for the next Ivy Pull at Abrams Park.

Help protect native plants, wildlife habitat, and mature trees by removing invasive English ivy in Ridgefield’s oldest 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.

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!\

Age: Volunteers aged 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult. All ages are welcome!

Parking: Park anywhere in the Abrams Park lot and look for the registration table. 

How to Prepare: 

• 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.
