Tree Stewards of Arlington and Alexandria

Help get rid of the invasive plants in Grandma’s Creek Park, an arm of Glencarlyn Park that extends into the Barcroft neighborhood in South Arlington. The event is held monthly on the second Saturday, except for July and August. In October, it will be held on the east side of the park, along S Pershing Drive between 4th St S and 6th St S, near the Dominion Energy lot. For October and November, the leader for the RIP is going to be Colt Gregory, a Roving Park Steward for Arlington DPR, who is an excellent birder and experienced site leader. Dress to protect against poison ivy and ticks, and bring drinking water. There are some steep areas and lots of dead tree limbs to climb over, so sturdy shoes are recommended. We will have tools and gloves provided by Arlington County DPR, but please bring your favorites if you have them. If you have any questions, please call or text Deborah Wood (the usual site leader) at 703 973-7424.
