“Honey bees are more than just honey-makers, they are one of the many pollinators folks can support by removing invasive plants from the park,” reads a NAP release.

Preregistration is encouraged. To register, click here.

Participants should wear long pants and closed-toed shoes, with socks long enough to close the gap between pants and shoes. Gardening gloves and a water bottle are also recommended. Guardians must accompany all minors to the workday. NAP staff will provide additional tools and know-how during the event.

Individuals who feel ill are asked to stay home.
