National Public Lands Day
Saturday, September 28 / 10 am - 1 pm 
Greenbelt Forest Preserve - Hamilton Tract

This year’s theme for National Public Lands Day is “Together for Tomorrow” and the City of Greenbelt is inviting you to work together with the Department of Public Works and the Forest Preserve Advisory Board to steward the environment so that it can be enjoyed for generations to come! Lend a hand as we continue our project to remove invasive bush honeysuckle from the forest preserve  understory near the Northway Ballfields.

Reminders:

• Bring a water bottle
• Wear weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes
• Students - bring community-service forms

Update from Kevin Carpenter-Driscoll on 9/27:

"Good Afternoon!

Thank you for registering for this year's National Public Lands Day - Bush Honeysuckle Round Up! I have been keeping my eye on the forecast all week and it looks like this rain will clear out tomorrow and give us a chance to do some work. We will be meeting at 10 am in the parking area in front of the Northway Ballfields (refer to this dropped pin for directions if you are not familiar: https://maps.app.goo.gl/trxppVQXjrEat3Qe9) before moving back into the Forest Preserve to continue our work to trim back and starve out the invasive bush honeysuckle in that area. It will be relatively warm in the mid-70's but be prepared for muddy conditions and dress accordingly. I look forward to working with everyone tomorrow and please let me know if you have any questions!"
