Forest Park Earth Tenders event this Saturday!

Come remove invasive/exotic plant species in Forest Park on June 13th from 10 am to 2 pm!!!

Forest Park is a beautiful oasis of woods, ponds, and glacial topography, right in the middle of Queens. Unfortunately is is being degraded by various invasive plant species. We will be removing one of the more aggressive species, Japanese knotweed, from a section of the park, on Saturday June 13th. 

Gloves and tools will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if you want. There is some poison ivy so it is highly recommended you wear pants and of course sturdy shoes. Something to drink and food is also recommended.

We will be meeting at the intersection of Forest Park Drive and Woodhaven Blvd. at 10 am. You can get there easily by car from the Jackie Robinson Parkway or take the J train to Woodhaven Blvd. and walk uphill to Forest Park Drive. 

Please RSVP for this event and feel free to bring friends. You can reach Dan at dmayer76@yahoo.com or 917-623-4700 if you have further questions.
