Invasive Removal at the Sandlot at the Carondelet Park Rec Complex
The outfield fence at the city's only operational baseball field is covered in invasive plants and could use some tidying up!
Join the Friends of Carondelet Park as we clean up the outfield fence to improve safety and visibility in the outfield.
We will begin with a quick safety and plant identification lesson before we get started. This event will be much simpler than other invasive removal events because we know that we need to clean up the entire fence. Everything must go!
Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
