Lend a hand and help improve one of Columbia’s neighborhood parks during the Volunteer Honeysuckle Removal workday at Again Street Park. Volunteers will work together to remove invasive bush honeysuckle along County House Branch Creek, helping restore native habitat, improve water quality, and create a healthier environment for local wildlife.
Hosted by the Missouri Conservation Corps, Volunteer Columbia, and the Love Your Block Foundation, this community workday is open to anyone who wants to make a positive impact. No experience is necessary—tools, gloves, training, water, and snacks will all be provided.
