Want to make a meaningful impact on your local environment?

Volunteers will help manually remove invasive species- such as Japanese stiltgrass, English ivy, and Japanese honeysuckle - from the wooded area near the lake trail entrance. No herbicides will be used; all removal will be done by hand (e.g., pulling vines, digging out roots). Gloves and tools (clippers and shears) will be provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Invasive Plant Removal Workday is a volunteer event where community members help clear non-native plants from Apex Community Park. During this workday, volunteers will manually pull and dig out plants like Japanese stiltgrass, English ivy, and Japanese honeysuckle from the woods near the lake trail entrance. The organizers will provide gloves, clippers, and shears, but you are welcome to bring your own tools if you prefer. No herbicides will be used during the cleanup. This event is a productive way to spend a Friday evening outdoors while teaching kids about local ecology and conservation work.
