George Rose Memorial Workday

Join us Saturday, November 2, 2024, 10:00 AM to Noon
Washington Park Botanical Garden
1740 W. Fayette Ave., Springfield, IL

Join us for a workday at Washington Park in honor of longtime Friends of the Sangamon Valley (FOSV) volunteer and ecologist George Rose. George was instrumental in leading the FOSV’s transformation of an overgrown trail to a restored home for spring wildflowers and an urban deer population. This area is due for maintenance and, weather permitting, we will target invasive species including bush honeysuckle. We will provide the necessary tools. Meet south of the Rose Garden parking at Leland House Summer Kitchen.
