Save the trees from strangling vines in Brandywine Park!
Invasive plants like English ivy wrap tightly around trees, making them more susceptible to breaking branches, serious diseases, and eventually death. Removing these vines helps to control the spread of invasive plants throughout the park and in surrounding neighborhoods.
We meet Saturdays, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. during the fall and winter months. Get on our mailing list so you know when and where to meet. Email plantladylucy@gmail.com
Remember, please email plantladylucy@gmail.com to get that day's location. Very important!
Come meet others who are passionate about keeping our park healthy for generations to come. No experience necessary, as you'll learn plant ID skills. More information about invasive vines below:
