Work area: On the Old Croton Aqueduct in Irvington. There will be two groups - one working south of Main Street and one north of Main Street.

Perks: Cleaner OCA. Helping protect biodiversity by removing non-native invasive plants; freeing trees of invasive vines so that they can breathe and keep doing the critical work of capturing carbon dioxide; get some fresh air!

Bring: Reusable gloves, loppers, or clippers if possible. We recommend wearing long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
