Rock Creek Weed wrangle

Save the Date for the 2024 Weed Wrangle: September 28

The 2023 Weed Wrangle was a resounding success! The Rock Creek Weed Wrangle is an area-wide volunteer-powered effort to help rescue our public parks and green spaces from non-native invasive species. This collective effort took place September 9 through October 7 and, despite the rainy weekends we knocked it out of the park. Thank you to all our volunteers!
