June classes and events

Even though our spring planting season is over, this doesn’t mean D.C.’s trees don’t need your help. Summer is the season that newly planted trees are most vulnerable, and by volunteering at one of our upcoming tree care events or learning how to properly remove non-native invasive species, you can ensure the well-being of D.C.’s burgeoning trees.

June 3: Non-Native Invasive Plant Removal (Class session)
This is the classroom portion of a two-part series focused on non-native, invasive plants and how they’re threatening our native landscapes.

June 6: Non-Native Invasive Plant Removal (Field session)
This is the field portion of a two-part series focused on non-native, invasive plants and how they’re threatening our native landscapes. Participants will learn how to identify and control species of non-native, invasive plants found in the D.C. area.
