Friends Of Little Paint Branch

Special Events take a summer hiatus starting in July, however monthly invasive pulls and trash pick ups continue

AWS Invasive Pull at LPB Park - Last Saturday of the month

Part of their ongoing 5 year program, AWS will be holding monthly pulls on every last Saturday of each month. This is a very important project! Little Paint Branch Park is one of the few parks not yet over run by invasives, but they are here and we need help to remove them and keep them from spreading.

For more information or to sign up, please contact Marc Imlay of AWS at 301- 699-6204

Note for Invasive Pull:

-Dress to get dirty. Closed toe shoes, long pants and preferrably long sleeve tops.

-Equipment and instructions will be provided on all events.

-When in the woods be aware of both forms of Poison Ivy. Also always check yourself thoroughly for ticks. You may wish to use bug repellant sold in stores.

New Watershed forum!

This is an open forum where all Maryland watershed groups and those who are interested in helping the rivers can come and exchange ideas and information. It also lists current events and contact information. If you are in a group, please sign up. The purpose is to have a meeting place where we can all communicate and unite our efforts. Thank you!

Please join us!

The Friends of Little Paint Branch is just beginning to form. We are looking for local residents of the river willing to join us. If you have an avid interest in helping the river you could become a River Guardian or help out with the various events. If you'd just like to be kept informed you can sign up for our newsletter. All residents will be welcome at our meetings and educational workshops. Watch for announcements announcing future times and events.
