Columbia Association (CA) and Howard County Recreation and Parks are teaming up to offer hands-on volunteer training for both the CA Weed Warrior and Howard County Tree Savers programs. Learn about sustainable landscaping including identifying invasive plants, how they affect the environment, how to remove them, and how to help restore habitats
with native plants. Once certified, you’ll be able to lead groups in clearing out invasive weeds in CA Open Space areas or on Howard County parkland.
The training has two parts: first, a classroom session on plant identification and safety, then a field session where attendees can get some hands-on invasive plant identification and management practice. Lunch, tools, gloves, and other items are being provided for the volunteers along with a few giveaways.
Class will be held at the Robinson Nature Center from 10am-3pm with lunch provided. Email Sustainability@columbiaassociation.org with questions. More information about Tree Savers including online trainings, resources and volunteer events can be found on the Howard County Forestry webpage under the Tree Savers drop down.
