INVASIVE SPECIES REMOVAL DAYS AT THE CHESAPEAKE ARBORETUM
Please park in the parking area adjacent to the Chesapeake Arboretum farmhouse (624 Oak Grove Road) and sign in at the picnic tables. There will be a brief orientation before walking about 10 minutes along a trail to the invasive species removal site. You will be instructed on how to properly remove the invasive species. We will mostly focus our efforts on eradicating English ivy and privet at this site. Hand tools will be provided, but please bring your own if you’d prefer.
