If you can volunteer, please sign up.
Rock Creek Conservancy MLK Weekend of Service
Join Rock Creek Conservancy on Saturday, January 14th and Monday, January 16th in honor of the 2016 MLK Day of Service. There are volunteer events in your neighborhood as well as other locations throughout Washington, DC, and Montgomery County, MD. Local events are highlighted below in bold. Volunteer activities include (1) cutting invasive English ivy from trees as part of the Conservancy's effort to protect the Rock Creek tree canopy; (2) removing other invasive plants such as bush honeysuckle and knotweed so natives can grow in the park; and (3) cleaning up trash that has accumulated along streams.
Visit our website for more information and the most up to date details on the activities. If you are interested in getting a group involved, please email John Maleri at jmaleri@rockcreekconservancy.org.
