Want to spend a couple fun hours in the fresh air, in the company of others helping to save our trees? All are invited to participate in the “Spring Tree Rescue Extravaganza,” March 21 - April 12, when people across Fairfax County and Falls Church will come together to rescue trees from invasive vines.
This blitz is being organized by Fairfax Tree Rescuers PRISM (Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management), a community-wide initiative to save our trees and natural areas from the invasive plants that are smothering and strangling them. The many events, including a virtual presentation on March 24, are listed on the Fairfax PRISM website. Registration is required for the tree rescue events because of limited parking in some locations.
Not up for outdoor work? Long-term, there are many ways to help save our trees, from volunteering with the organizational work to adopting parks or roadside rights of way to pay companies to take care of the invasive plants there.
