Free the Trees Capital Crescent Trail @ River Road

Get Connected Icon Happens On Apr 25, 2026
Get Connected Icon 10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Description

Vines and bushes are killing our native trees and plants. Volunteers will use clippers, saws and other hand tools to remove the invasive plants and free the trees. Participants have told us that they can hear the trees thanking them. It's an opportunity to be outside and make a difference for the environment. The activity is open to everyone. Training is on site.  We have tools and gloves to lend. 

Meet at the Capital Crescent Trail at the Neil Potter Plaza by the bridge at River Road in Bethesda, MD.  There is street parking on Landy Lane.   If you are late, find us working on the trail uphill towards Bethesda.
