Habitat Restoration & Invasive Weed Removal
Join the City of Falls Church Habitat Restoration Team in restoring the local ecosystem in City parks. This includes on-going removal of invasive vegetation and replanting with native species when plants are available.
We have five events scheduled for Spring 2021. We will operate in small groups, masked, and socially distanced. We are limiting each event to 25 people, so we are asking you to pre-register with this sign-up genius form:
