(DC) (Chesapeake Climate Action Network) Join Meredith and fellow volunteers to canvass and remove invasive vines around the Takoma DC neighborhood. This event will be a fun mix of door-to-door canvassing and invasive vine removal. We will meet at the Fort Stevens Rec Center and spend 30 minutes doing training on vine removal and canvassing. From there we will break into pairs and head to a list of pre-surveyed residences in the area to offer vine removal for residents. If you prefer not to go door-to-door, you can stay at the rec center and work on the trees there.

We will focus on non-native invasive vines – mainly porcelainberry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata), English ivy (Hedera helix). Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and close-toed shoes. Instructions and tools will be provided, so just bring yourself and a good attitude!
