Volunteers will learn how to identify and effectively remove Cedrela sinensis, an invasive tree found in Wissahickon Valley Park. Topics covered will include selecting the proper removal technique for this species, electronic tracking of invasive removal projects and hours, and proper tool selection. This workshop/workday will include classroom learning and field work. Upon completion, volunteers will be able to independently remove Cedrela sinensis throughout the park and report back to FOW and PPR on their activities. This workshop/workday offers a great opportunity to help in the preservation of Wissahickon Valley Park and learn more about FOW's Crew Leader program.
