Only YOU can save our trees

by | Mar 7, 2026 | Events, Trees

Are you ready to join the community-wide effort to save our trees from the invasive plants that are threatening them? All are invited to participate in a “Spring Tree Rescue Extravaganza, March 21 - April 12, organized by the Fairfax Tree Rescuers PRISM (Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management). 

People across Fairfax County will celebrate the end of winter by getting out in the fresh air to clip the invasive vines or dig up other invasive plants. This is how we save our natural areas, one tree at a time, multiplied by hundreds of people.

Registration is required. There will be at least four events at Little Hunting Creek Preserve. Many other events are listed on the Fairfax PRISM website, where you can also learn about other ways to help or to get help with this work.
