Invasive Plant Removal Volunteer

CRWA seeks volunteers to help remove invasive plant species from the Charles River Watershed. Participants can either pull water chestnut plants out of the water from a canoe, or they can remove bittersweet vines from trees within the forests and woods of the watershed. Water chestnut removal occurs in the summer months, from late June through August; groups of up to 20 volunteers are welcome. Bittersweet removal occurs from mid May to mid June, and again from late August to mid October; groups of up to 30 volunteers are welcome. Typically, shifts last about 3 hours. 

Registration is on a first come, first served basis. To learn more and sign up, please visit https://www.crwa.org/invasive-species/#invasive-volunteer. You may also email charles@crwa.org or  call (617) 540-5650 with any questions.

Removing plants also works well as a team building event! Several sponsorship tiers are available for corporate groups seeking to make an impact with a donation and group service day. To learn more, please contact Emily Reiling, Development Manager, at ereiling@crwa.org.
