Log Hours to: Clean up Projects /City / Local Park Stewardship - Friends of Indian River projects

Date: Saturday April 18, 2026, from 9 am to noon

Location: Indian River Park entrance at Rokeby Avenue and Main Street (2003 Rokeby Avenue, Chesapeake)

Details: We will focus on two efforts this day: 1) weeding and cleaning up the native plant garden at the park entrance area, and 2) invasive plant control in the park. This will focus on hand pulling young Linden Viburnum plants and English ivy.

Please wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, a hat and bring work gloves. Hoes and other weeding tools will be useful.  We will have water and snacks but we also always encourage folks to bring their own water in reusable bottles to minimize use of plastic bottles. Participants under 18 years of age must have adult supervision.
