About Greenbelt Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service

Volunteers are needed for a service-learning event on Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service to protect trees from beavers and invasive species in Buddy Attick Park from 10:30 AM - 1 PM.

Be a part of the community effort to protect trees from beaver herbivory and invasive species at Buddy Attick Park. Volunteers will work with Public Works staff to learn how to identify slow-growth native and nonnative trees, as well as the invasive species, English ivy. Wire caging will be placed around the trunks of native trees to protect them from beaver herbivory, and hand shears will be used to remove English ivy from taking over the forest.
