Invasive Plant Removal at Assawoman Canal Trail

Calendar Happens On May 28, 2026
Time Starts at 1pm

Description

Help Protect Delaware Seashore's Ecosystem!

On Thursday, May 28th help us protect the natural beauty of Delaware Seashore State Park by removing invasive Annual Honesty plants. Join fellow volunteers in a hands-on conservation project to protect native plants that support the ecosystem.

Why?
Annual Honesty is an invasive ornamental plant that outcompetes native plants for resources. Since it is not native to the ecosystem, it does not provide the same ecosystem benefits (ex: food, shelter) that native plants do. Removing invasive plants helps native plants survive and continue to support native wildlife and ecosystems.

What to Expect:
We provide all necessary supplies, including gloves and trash bags.
Dress for the weather and wear closed toe shoes. Long pants and bug spray are strongly recommended to protect from ticks. Please bring water and sunscreen as well.
