On July 27th, the AYLUS Dix Hills Branch volunteers at Planting Field State Park to help remove invasive weeds. As a continuation of last week’s work, volunteers already knew what to do. The invasive species were stifling the growth of existing plants already there, and removing them made space for the plants to thrive and for new plants to grow there. Volunteers used various tools such as clippers and rakes to effectively remove the weeds, as well as using their hands to pull them out.
The group worked tirelessly from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM, making significant progress in clearing out the invasive weeds that had been overtaking the park. The continued efforts not only helped improve the health of the park’s ecosystem but also served as an example of how regular volunteer work can lead to lasting positive changes in public green spaces.
Volunteers: Bryan Fan (3 hrs), Simon Kong (2.5 hrs), Sunya Kong (2.5 hrs), and Jake Wu (2.5 hrs).
