Thank you, Supervisor Walkinshaw, for rescuing a Red Maple in this park along the Burke VRE trail! He and his team plunged right in there with some Burke residents to cut the Porcelainberry and Bittersweet while sparing the native grape vine. @JRWalkinshaw #plantnovatrees
English ivy, pachysandra, periwinkle, butterfly bush, burning bush, barberry, wisteria. They're all invasive plants. These plants end up in our parks & the parks need your help to keep them out. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=65… #fairfaxcountyparks

Correction: The public sale is Sept. 18, 19, 25 and 26 (this weekend and next weekend) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Full details : bit.ly/3hEK19q
Native #plants can attract #butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard. They are well-adapted to local weather and provide food and shelter for local wildlife. Today and Sept. 23 and 24, the @VLMuseum is hosting a native plant sale. Full details: bit.ly/3kfvdQ4
@YimbyA @Elena_MR Taking a que from rain garden research I've done - thanks @NovaNatives - this would be a fantastic use for native plants. Helps with the #stormwater mgt as well as providing pollinators additional habitat to thrive. More pollinators = more environmental benefits. Wins all around.
s o o n Pawpaws are the largest fruit native to North America and are something of a regional celebrity. Their fruit tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango. We plant these for free through our residential planting programs caseytrees.org/free 💛
As a graduate of MD's oldest #WeedWarrior program in @MontgomeryCoMD & DC @CaseyTrees #CitizenForester I laud WheatonMD's annual survey of trees which identified how #nonnative vines weaken #native trees & shorten their life span by an avg 7 yrs. #NoEnglishIvy #NoChineseWisteria
Trees help fight climate change by removing CO2 from the air, but invasive vines threaten trees. Removing invasive vines can add 5 - 10 years to a tree's lifespan. @CCAN and volunteers are working to save 5000 trees in Takoma Park, MD. marylandmatters.org/2021/08/13/fig… via @marylandmatters
Done right, adding new green space in and around our cities can improve human health, revitalize ecosystems, and boost a region’s economy. Done wrong, it can worsen existing socioeconomic and ecological problems or even create new ones. bit.ly/3pxwTp3
