Volunteers are needed to help Great Rivers Greenway staff and the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Outdoor Leadership Corps remove invasive bush honeysuckle on Saturday, November 23rd from 9AM to 11AM!

Volunteers will remove invasive bush honeysuckle along the Meramec Greenway in Unger Park, by cutting the plant with handsaws or loppers, and dragging the debris into brush piles.  No experience is necessary for this activity, but it does involve physical labor and walking in the woods over varying terrain. 

No experience necessary; Great Rivers Greenway and Missouri Botanical Garden staff will teach volunteers how to identify, remove, and treat bush honeysuckle. 

What to wear: Please dress for the weather and bundle up. Long sleeve shirts, pants and closed toe shoes are required. Eye protection and gloves will be provided.

What to bring: All tools will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own loppers or hand pruners if you have them. Please bring a water bottle to help us reduce plastic waste. Light snacks and water will be provided.
