Richmond Invasive Species Awareness Week

As you may already know, it takes a village to keep invasive plant species under control! This week is an opportunity to learn more about the invasive species that we are currently battling in the Eco-Corridor and throughout other natural areas across Virginia. Then, we’re going to do something about it! Check out these volunteer opportunities below:
