Wayside Springs Invasive Plant Removal
Join the James River Park System and your Wayside Springs neighbors to learn about native and invasive plants and get your hands dirty removing invasive plants to preserve the tree canopy and begin restoring this special habitat. This will be a recurring event the second Friday of every month.
Please meet at the entrance of Wayside Springs at 10am for introduction, tools, and plant identification basics before we begin removing invasive shrubs and vines.
If you arrive late, you must have your own gloves and tools.
Participants must bring their own water and should wear long pants and long sleeves to protect themselves from poison ivy, thorns, and insects. Hand tools and gloves will be provided for those who need them.
