Activities

Ah, Riverview Park! A popular place for residents and tourists for picnics, walks, and playground time. This is also the site of a recent ecological restoration in 2023, which is currently in need of some maintenance.

We are looking for volunteers to help with pulling out a patch of invasive English ivy. If eradicated, we will plant in this area in the fall! Ivy is known for carpeting the forest floor, toppling trees, and indiscriminately choking out young plants.

If we get done with the ivy early, we will have a short native plant walk, then work on picking up trash and pulling the surrounding creeping buttercup and Armenian blackberry!

Come join us and bring your friends and family! Participants are welcome to come begin work with us as early as 8 AM, but the event officially starts at 9 AM.

All ages OK
