Volunteers are needed to help Great Rivers Greenway staff remove invasive bush honeysuckle on Saturday, March 22nd from 9AM to 11AM!

Volunteers will remove invasive bush honeysuckle along the Western Greenway in the city of Wildwood, 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.
