Crooked Branch Ravine Park: MLK Day of Attack the Invasives Service Project

Get active on the long weekend and do a bit of good for the community and nature.

The Reedy Creek Coalition has a project for the Martin Luther King Day of Service. You can find more local projects here.

Three good reasons to join us on January 13 from 1 – 4 p.m. for an invasive removal project…

  • The MLK Day of Service is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service – a “day on, not a day off.”
  • You can help care for the earth right here in RVA.
  • A great opportunity to get outside; the temperature should be reasonably comfortable for this kind of work!

Only have an hour to spare?  That’s quite alright.  Every little bit helps.

Crooked Branch Ravine Park is at the end of Northrop Street where there is a path into the park.  MAP .  However, due to parking limitations on this street, we ask that you meet at the Stone House in Forest Hill Park and car pool over.  If you are arriving late, come on over to Northrop Street.  Bring gloves, pruners, and, if you have one, a small saw for cutting large ivy vines.

This event is being hosted by Reedy Creek Coalition, Friends of Forest Hill Park, the Department of Parks, Recreation & Community Facilities, and Councilmember Parker Agelasto’s 5th District office.
