Invasive Plant Management- Churchill Valley Greenway

Registration is required so we can communicate in case of any necessary changes.

Churchill Valley Greenway, the former site of a golf course and country club, is steadily re-wilding with the care of stewards and volunteers. A common sight on disturbed lands are invasive plants, which can outcompete the native flora and be a detriment to native wildlife. Join us to tackle one invasive plant species in particular: Mile-a-Minute vine (Persicaria perfoliata).

Volunteers will use gloves and garbage bags to uproot vines and remove them from the greenway. Preventing the spread of this fast-growing invasive plant species will aid in our restoration efforts in the forests and meadows of Churchill Valley Greenway, and we can’t do it without you!

Volunteers can expect to walk up to two miles mostly on paved walking paths and are asked to work at their own pace and comfort level. Tools and gloves will be provided. Light snacks and water will be provided; please bring your own reuseable water bottle. Closed toe shoes and long pants are required. Due to the prickly nature of mile-a-minute vine, long sleeves are recommended. There are no restrooms on site.
