Forest/Field Restoration and Invasive Alien Plant Removal at Banshee Reeks in Leesburg
The Weed Battalion (Weed Bees) is a group of Master Naturalists that has been working with Ron Circe, the Preserve Manager, to remove invasive plants in Banshee Reeks’ Old Field Loop and other fields in order to allow native plants to flourish and grow.
Ron has identified nine invasive plants at Banshee Reeks and each is removed during different seasons with different methods to ensure they do not survive and that any wildlife that may be nesting in them is not harmed.
Their current work schedule is the first and third Saturday from 9:00 am until about noon and the second and the fourth Friday from 9 am until about noon.
If you are interested in helping contact Dave Hellums at groundhog0369@msn.com. He will add you to the group distribution list in case of bad weather. All equipment is provided by Banshee Reeks but you will need to bring work your own work gloves and beverages.
