Volunteer Canal Park has had some major work done recently to remove kudzu vines and many other invasive materials. 

It is imperative that we keep the kudzu vines and other invasives from returning by removing all their sprouts by hand.  Our next scheduled work session will start doing just that.  Please join us on July 24 at 10:00am in Canal Park.  Bring shovels or any other digging implement of your choice.  We hope to keep this area free of invasive materials and to make it a desirable addition to the Laurel Park open space.
