Opportunity Details

Weed Wrangle at Belle Forest Cave & Arboretum


The 4.13-acre Belle Forest Cave property, owned by the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation, is part of a wildlife corridor connecting the West Meade Waterfall to Warner Parks. Both are managed by Metro Parks.
 
Volunteers will be removing invasive plants of small and large sizes. We will be removing a large brush pile from the site and this requires heavy lifting and teamwork. Coffee and snacks will be provided. 

Wear clothes that can get dirty, dress for the weather and wear closed toed-shoes. Please bring any tools you have such as loppers, shovels, and pickaxe.

Weed Wrangle®-Nashville volunteers will learn, practice, and begin a habit of maintaining an area free of invasive plants. By engaging our neighbors and challenging them to take action in their own spaces, we hope to create a movement that will have the greatest impact on the invasive plant population in the Nashville area.
