Pony Pasture invasive removal & habitat restoration

Clear invasive plants  in Pony Pasture to restore habitat & support wildlife!  

For Wednesday events in February, project leader will be Megan Lowe.  If you have questions, please email Megan at meganrlowe@gmail.com. If you need to reach her the day of the event, call or text her at 804-814-9758

Register for this event on Hands On Greater Richmond.

Meet up location will be in the parking lot either near the bridge access to the restroom facility OR near the kiosk by the rapids. 

Work with a JRPS invasive plant management coordinator to improve the ecological health of these important park system woodlands.

This  February we will focus on manual removal of invasive vine ground cover in two restoration areas near the rapids and near Rockfalls Creek at the park entrance.  Volunteers will not need to use tools.

Volunteers MUST:

• Arrive on time for orientation and training and to reach the work site.
• Dress appropriately in long-sleeves and long pants.  Yoga pants, leggings, and other styles that snag are discouraged.  Wear layers in cold weather – you will warm up quickly!
• Bring a water bottle.
• Tools and work gloves are provided.

Please, if you register for this event and then are unable to attend, cancel your registration on Hands-On or otherwise notify the project leader.
