Join Wilmington State Parks for an MLK Day of Service project!
Join Wilmington State Parks staff for a volunteer service project to help control invasive plants in Brandywine Park. The primary target will be English ivy, though the project could be expanded.
From the AmeriCorps website:
MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. During the last quarter-century, the MLK Day of Service has grown, and its impact increased as more Americans embraced the idea that citizenship involves taking an active role in improving communities.
Delaware State Parks is one of many organizations that offer opportunities to serve your community on this important holiday.
Invasive plants — plants not native to the region that grow aggressively, complete with native plants for resources, and displace native plants — present a growing challenge to local ecosystems. Join us to learn more about English ivy and to help Wilmington State Parks control it in Brandywine Park!
Note: Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
