The Town of Vienna Parks and Recreation Department is seeking volunteers on Saturday, September 26th to help identify and remove invasive plants in Northside Park. As in most suburban areas across the country, non-native plants are growing out of control and impacting the natural environment for native plant species.

The Northside Park Invasive Management Team Training is set to meet from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Glyndon Street side of the park. From Route 123, turn at the TD Bank and continue up Glyndon Street NE until it dead-ends at the Park and Vienna Property Yard.

Volunteers should bring gloves and wear comfortable, protective clothing such as long sleeve shirts and long pants. You may want to wear water proof shoes or boots.
