Volunteers are needed to help Great Rivers Greenway staff and the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Outdoor Leadership Corps remove invasive bush honeysuckle on Saturday, October 5th from 9AM to 11AM!

Note: This event is limited to ages 13 and older.

Volunteers will help remove the invasive bush honeysuckle at Cliff Cave Park by cutting the plant with handsaws or loppers, and dragging the debris into brush piles. No experience is necessary for this activity, but it does involve physical labor and walking in the woods over varying terrain.

No experience necessary; Great Rivers Greenway staff and the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Outdoor Leadership Corps will teach volunteers how to properly identify, remove, and treat bush honeysuckle.

What to wear: Please dress for the weather. Long pants and closed toed shoes are required. Eye protection and gloves will be provided.

What to bring: All tools will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own loppers or hand pruners if you have them. Please bring a water bottle to help us reduce plastic waste. Light snacks and water will be provided.
