A healthy forest follows a cycle of succession, but invasive species can interfere with this process. Next month, a day of environmental action will tackle this problem hands-on.
Annapolis residents who would like to do their bit for nature have been invited to join a group at Bacon Ridge Natural Area for a project that will remove invasive plants. It is being hosted by the Scenic Rivers Land Trust, and everyone who is interested is asked to set aside two hours for the session.
The group will be removing invasive species of grasses, shrubs, and vines, which is an important task because these plants are often aggressive, growing quickly and crowding out native species while limiting the amount of light they receive.
Volunteers will be working in a specific spot. While gloves will be provided, helpers are welcome to bring their own.
An organized activity offers a route for anyone who would like to get involved in environmental stewardship but is not sure where to start. A flyer printing company can help to spread the word to those who may be interested and attract a wider audience.
The Healthy Forests Workday session will be held on Sunday, April 14. Everyone who registers is asked to be at the venue by 10:00 am. The Visit Annapolis website offers more information.
