  Calling all Tree Huggers, Green Panthers, Green Activists, and all Nature Lovers!

  Join us for YLN Service Day alongside Reston Association as we make a step in slowing climate change by saving the forest. YLN Service Day will help to save trees in a natural setting and preserve native woodland habitat. Our service day will also help to inform the community about invasive non-native vines and provide them with resources to take care of problematic vines if present on their property. 

  Youth who participate in YLN Service Day will experience the following opportunities:

  • Learn about the effect of invasive non-native plants on our ecosystem.
  • Have the chance to educate the people in their community in a positive way.
  • Learn skills related to removal of invasive vines from trees.

  Important Volunteer Information: 

  • Public restrooms are not available.
  • Please wear long sleeves, long pants and sturdy shoes to protect you from biting insects, thorns, and poison ivy. NO OPEN TOES SHOES.
  • Please bring a water bottle and garden gloves. 
  • RA will provide tools, but feel free to bring your own.

  Registration will close July 7, 2022. Space is limited, so sign up today! 

  This event is for youth ages 13-22.
