Filed under: GWU volunteer work
This volunteer activity was a partnership between The Hispanic MBA Student Association and GWU’s Net Impact Chapter. Approx. 14 of us met in Rock Creek Park in Washginton, DC and helped DC Parks and Recreation Services pull english ivy off of the park trees. The ivy grows up the trees, weighs it down, and destroys the trees’ bark, so they need to pull this ivy off as much as they can. This ivy is invasive and has spread all across the park. We had to cut the ivy at its root and then pull it off the tree bark. Once the root is cut, the ivy will die up the tree, but we tried to remove as much as we could. The ivy was then bagged up and disposed off by Park Services. This was a fun opportunity to learn about the invasive plant, to meet new people in the MBA program and to get some fresh air.
