Invasive Species Removal Workday at Owens Field Park

Join the Richland County Office of Sustainability for an invasive plant species removal workday at Owens Field Park, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., on Saturday, April 18. Those volunteering will perform tasks, such as cutting down small invasive trees and shrubs to carrying debris to designated staging areas. Some tools and gloves will be made available for volunteers, but in limited quantities; therefore, the Office of Sustainability asks that those planning to attend, please plan to bring work gloves, a bag lunch, bottled drinking water and appropriate clothing. Other helpful tools requested include hand saws, loppers and clippers—no power tools please. Call ahead to confirm workday participation.

Location: Owens Field Park: 1531 Jim Hamilton Blvd., Columbia. For more information, call the Richland County Office of Sustainability at 803-929-6000 or visit RichlandOnline.com.
