Event Details

Volunteers will remove invasive bush honeysuckle along the Boschert Greenway at Fox Hill Park in the city of St. Charles, by cutting the plant with handsaws or loppers, dragging, and piling debris to be chipped. 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 staff will teach volunteers how to identify, remove, and treat bush honeysuckle. 

What to wear: Long 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.
