As we continue to restore habitat and reintroduce native plant species\, invasive plant species must be managed and removed to support a healthy ecosystem. Volunteers will assist with the removal of invasive plant species that are growing in a reforestation area. \n\nParticipants can expect to hike up to a mile on mixed terrain and navigate in tall grasses and flowers. Volunteers will use loppers\, handsaws\, shovels\, and rakes to completely remove invasive plants such as barberry\, privet\, and mile-a-minute vine. \nLong pants and closed-toed shoes are required. Long sleeves and a hat are recommended. There are no restrooms or garbage cans on site. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required.

Participants will gain all the basics to start their own foraging journey. Over a ~1.5 mile hike\, we will identify common edible invasive plants while learning about their histories\, ecologies\, and culinary uses. Joey will also cover tips for foraging safely and ethically\, while exploring possibilities for better integrating foraging into ongoing conservation work. \nHike runs rain or shine. NO WALK-INS will be permitted. We will not be actively foraging on this walk. Foraging for mushrooms and plants can be risky and it is never safe to eat an unidentified plant or mushroom. \nJoey Jaros is a botanist and field biologist who likes to get creative in the kitchen. After completing degrees at the University of Pittsburgh and Fordham University in New York\, they are currently finishing a PhD at Ohio State\, where they research how invasive species integrate into existing biotic communities\, with a special focus on managing garlic mustard across Pennsylvania. They have been an baker since childhood\, learning to make cookies and pies with their grandma\, and have been sharing recipes with family and friends ever since. Through their work as a culinary educator at Phipps and Franklin Park Conservatory\, Joey has been on a journey to connect their commitment to sustainability with their passion for cooking\, and they are excited to share their experiences in urban foraging with you! \n  \nTICKETS URL:https://alleghenylandtrust.org/event/science-stroll-foraging-in-forests/ LOCATION:Barking Slopes – Lower Access\, 520 Barking Road\, New Kensington\, PA\, 15068\, United States CATEGORIES:Family Friendly ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://alleghenylandtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/poster_board_large__4_2.avif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260926T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260926T120000 DTSTAMP:20261024T133408 CREATED:20260905T145653Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T145653Z UID:60433-1790413200-1790424000@alleghenylandtrust.org SUMMARY:Invasive Plant Management Volunteer Workday - Churchill Valley Greenway DESCRIPTION:Identify and manage trailside invasive shrub species.
