Fairfax Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) Launches with Week of Action

Want to spend a couple fun hours in the fresh air, in the company of others helping to save our trees?

All are invited to participate in a “Week of Action,” November 8-16, when people across Fairfax County will come together to rescue trees from invasive vines.

The Fairfax Tree Rescuers PRISM (Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management) is being established and will officially launch with a Week of Action. The many events are listed on the Fairfax PRISM website www.fairfaxprism.org, where you can also learn about other ways to help or to get help with this work.

REGISTER and wear long-sleeved clothes, closed-toe shoes, and insect repellent. Bring water and any tools that you have (such as loppers, clippers, and pruning saws - but NO power electrical tools).

FAIRFAX PRISM aims to facilitate a community-wide effort by residents and organizations to save our trees and natural areas from the invasive plants that are smothering and strangling them. Registration is required for the tree rescue events because of limited parking in some locations.
