Join Southside ReLeaf for seasonal invasive species maintenance at Ernest Road Park by removing English Ivy from the walking trail. By clearing the ground of invasive ivy this spring, we’ll allow the native plants we planted this fall to flourish, continuing the ecological restoration of this natural space.

Volunteer Responsibilities
Volunteers will be removing English Ivy by hand. Removal will include bending, kneeling, and pulling. For anyone interested in helping but uncomfortable with any of these activities, please reach out before the workday. Removal of tree-climbing ivy is an alternate task we can offer.
Where?
Ernest Road Park, 4701 Ernest Road, Richmond 23234.
