Volunteer Opportunity - Weed Warrior program

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 Sunday, September 20 from 9:30 am - Noon. We'll meet at the end of Howard Street on the on the east side of the Deal Campus. See map below.

No prior experience needed and we'll have some pruners, loppers, and gloves on hand (feel free to bring your own as well). 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 (Note: if this is the first time volunteering in 2026 we will need a permission slip for anyone under 18 even if your child has worked with us in a previous year).

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

Please RSVP to Courtney Bergeron (ccbergeron@hotmail.com) by Thursday, September 17 if you plan to participate (and if you can only come for part of the time that's okay). Once you RSVP, Courtney will send you the permission slip if needed. Thanks very much for considering lending a hand to preserve the trees throughout the park!
