Invasive Plant Removal Workshop

Join WaterWays and Urban Century Institute for an invasive plant removal at Old Birds Mill Park in the South Chickamauga Creek Watershed! Join us for an invasive plant removal to restore native habitat at Old Birds Mill Park on December 12th from 9 am to 1 pm ! We will be getting our hands dirty in this workshop. Come prepared to learn and work outside while we remove as many invasive species as possible. Participants will learn how to identify invasive plant species, removal techniques and the importance of removing invasive plants in our ecosystems! Waterways will have gloves and some tools available, but feel free to bring your own gear! Gear such as loppers, gloves, handsaws, eye protection, closed-toed shoes, sunscreen, and hat are suggested. Don't forget your water bottle! The Old Bird's Mill Sanctuary is an eight-acre living landscape and urban conservation project developed by the Urban Century Institute (UCI). Located along South Chickamauga Creek in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the sanctuary serves as a dedicated space for habitat restoration, environmental education, walking trails, and local history preservation.
