Details
The Friends of Mount Vernon Trail will be improving areas of the Mount Vernon trail in Rosslyn.
Volunteers will also remove invasive vegetation and pick up trash near the entrance to the trail. No special skills are needed ; they will teach you how to help in just a few minutes.
Volunteers may perform some of the following work:
- Using pruners and loppers to cut vegetation
- Using hand saws to cut tree branches
- Sweeping or using a leaf blower
- Hauling away vegetation
- Picking up trash
What to Bring:
- Water
- Gloves (We'll have some to borrow)
- Long sleeves and long pants (we sometimes encounter poison ivy)
Where to Meet:
Meet at the entrance of the trail near the intersection of Langston Blvd and N Lynn Street. Look for the purple Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail sign and bikes with tools!
Here is the Google street view image of the location.
If coming by car, you can look for street or garage parking in Rosslyn or park at Theodore Roosevelt Island. If coming by metro, it is a short 6 minute walk.
