June 13th Earth Tenders outing at Forest Park a success!

July 1, 2009

On June 13^th 15 volunteers joined Dan Mayer as he led them into beautiful Forest Park in Queens to clear out Japanese Knotweed, an invasive plant species. The volunteers met at 10 am and hiked through Forest Park to the work location. After 4 hours of work the volunteers had cleared about an acre of land that can now be re-inhabited by native species. Great job to all the volunteers and thanks for making this event a success!
