Invasive Removal

  • Rockefeller State Park Preserve, Rockwood Hall 1 Rockwood Road Sleepy Hollow, NY, 10591 United States (map)

Hosted by Rockefeller State Park Preserve

In just over a week the Mile-a-minute invasive weed's berries will ripen! RSPP’s goal is to rid the park as much as possible of this insidious invasive BEFORE these berries have a chance to fall!

If you can, please come out and give them a hand!!
