DESCRIPTION:(DC) (Rock Creek Conservancy) Join Rock Creek Conservancy\, the National Park Service\, and Weed Warrior Leader\, Rena Subotnik for this invasive plant removal restoration event in Rock Creek Park. Invasive plants are a major threat to our fragile forests\, and stopping their spread helps allow native plants to thrive in the understory.
