Volunteer: Invasive Species Removal

Join park staff for November's volunteer work day where we will be focusing our efforts on removal of invasive plant species from an area of the park. Invasive plant species can be difficult to remove from an area, but it is ecologically important to remove them to help native plants, shrubs, and trees survive rather than be outcompeted for resources. The work will consist of cutting and removing invasive plant species, including privet, Autumn Olive, multiflora rose, Winter Creeper, honeysuckle, and locust trees. Work gloves are available for volunteers that need them, and some tools will be available for use. If you have your own handtools that you would like to bring and use, please bring them with you. 

Volunteers should plan on meeting Ranger Stephanie at the main parking lot by the Bluebird Barn at 9:00am. Ranger Stephanie will brief all volunteers on the location in the park where the work will take place. Please bring bottled water with you and wear closed-toe footwear. If you have any questions about this volunteer work day, please contact Ranger Stephanie at stephanie.mueller@tn.gov or 865-333-8270.
