Invasive plant workday planned
at the Junction and Breakwater Trail on July 17
LEWES – The Environmental Stewardship Program of the Division of Parks and Recreation invites volunteers to spend the morning working along the Junction and Breakwater Trail in Lewes from 8 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 17. The group will begin work at the Tanger Outlets Seaside Trail parking lot. The work will involve hand-pulling wineberry, which invades along the trail edge and into the understory of forest habitat throughout the area.
Environmental Stewardship Program staff will assist with identification of both invasive shrubs and beneficial native plants. Volunteers should wear work clothes and sneakers or boots. Wineberry is related to raspberry and does have thorns; gloves and tools will be provided, but volunteers may bring their own.
More information is available by calling Ashley Kroon at 302-242-6004 or via email at Ashley.Kroon@state.de.us.
