Cherokee Marsh Phragmites Workday

Help Remove Invasive Phragmites (giant reed grass) 

Assist in keeping the high-quality wetlands in Cherokee Marsh free from invasive phragmites. Volunteers are needed to use twine to tie stalks in bundles. We will then cut the stalks above the twine and treat the cut ends.

Details: 

• We recommend long pants, long-sleeved shirt, hat, and close-toed shoes or boots. Bring drinking water
• We will cancel if raining or threat of thunderstorms.

Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome! Whether you're an experienced conservationist or new to the world of environmental stewardship, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a tangible difference in protecting our natural resources.

Let's unite in our commitment to preserve and restore our conservation park for present and future generations. Together, we can ensure that this precious ecosystem thrives and remains a sanctuary for wildlife and humans alike.

Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park, South Unit. Meet at 1200 Wheeler Rd, the corner of Wheeler Rd and Delaware Blvd. Can park on street. The work area is a short walk from the meeting location. 

If you're planning to attend, it's helpful if you let us know by contacting Jan at info@cherokeemarsh.org. We can then inform you of any cancellations or changes.
