Habitat Restoration at Colmar Manor Park

October 13 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

(MD) (Anacostia Watershed Society) During this workday we will focus on repairing tree shelters and fencing and removing weeds/invasive plant species to allow the native trees to continue to flourish. The tree canopy along this stretch of the Anacostia River has been devastated by the invasive emerald ash borer beetle. Together with Bat Conservation International, we have planted more native and bat-friendly trees that are not affected by the beetle to restore the tree canopy. These trees will also prevent erosion of the riverbank, manage stormwater and filter surface water before it goes into the Anacostia River, and create habitat for wildlife.
