Theodore Roosevelt Island Invasive Plant Removal for National Public Lands Day

Do you enjoy working outside? Come join us on September 27th to celebrate National Public Lands Day -- an event that honors our public lands through conservation volunteers (like you!) who help restore and improve our parks' health. No prior experience or skills are necessary for this event!

Theodore Roosevelt Island is a beautiful, natural sanctuary that sits on the Potomac River, nestled between Washington D.C. and Arlington. We will be focusing on the northern part of the island, working to remove invasive vines. 

When typing in directions to the site, please use the coordinates posted. They will take you to the parking area where we will meet at the far end, near the bridge. Once everyone has arrived, we will all walk to the event location.

What to Bring: Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes (sneakers or boots are recommended). Tools and gloves will be provided on site, however, please make sure to bring your own water!

If you are under 18 or bringing someone who is, please reach out to site contact ahead of time.

You will receive a confirmation email 24-48 hours before the event with more details!
