Ft. Reno Weeding Volunteers

Join us to rid Ft. Reno Park of invasive vines that are endangering the trees. A group of National Park Service "Weed Warriors" will lead the way on Saturday, March 28 from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm. We'll meet at the corner of 38th and Fessenden Streets, NW and will focus on the trees along the east side of the field. Please RSVP to Courtney Bergeron (ccbergeron@hotmail.com) by Thursday, March 26 if you plan to participate (and if you can only come for part of the time that's okay). Thanks very much for considering lending a hand to preserve the trees throughout the park!

No prior experience needed and we'll have some pruners, loppers, and gloves on hand (feel free to bring your own as well). Please wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt along with close-toed shoes. Anyone age 10+ is welcome to join in the fun. If you are under 18 you will have to have a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian, which will be sent to you when you RSVP. If this is the first time volunteering in 2026 we will need a permission slip for anyone under 18 even if you have worked with us in a previous year.

Note for students, this activity counts toward volunteer hours needed to graduate from Deal, just bring your community service form for us to sign.
