Help the Weed Team and the Mile-a-Minute Project of the Hudson Valley with removal of mile-a-minute vine at Bear Mountain State Park! Get a little exercise, enjoy the great outdoors, and learn about other invasive plants too, such as Black swallow-wort.
The site is located on the Iona/Dunderberg bike path just off 9W (also called Jones Point Path / Old Route 9W). We'll meet at the northern end of the bike path, which is 0.3 miles south of the entrance to Iona Island. GPS coordinates: N 41.2997789, W 73.9856880.
Please bring water and be prepared for outdoor work! Wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. A sturdy pair of work gloves will be required, as mile-a-minute vines have small thorns. Gloves can be provided, if needed.
If interested in attending, or for more information, please contact Becca Chambers at MaMHudsonValley@gmail.com or (845) 786-2701 ext. 293.
