Celebrate Earth Day and volunteer with Mount Pleasant Waterworks to remove Chinese privet and Chinese tallow along the Marsh View Trail!
Lend a hand – and make a difference – at Mount Pleasant Waterworks’ Privet and Tallow Pull on the Marsh View Trail on Saturday, April 18, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
What’s a Privet and Tallow Pull? During a Privet and Tallow Pull, volunteers will help identify, flag, and remove Chinese privet and Chinese tallow, invasive trees that can crowd out Lowcountry native tree species and threaten wildlife habitat.
The Marsh View Trail is part of a public park and is permanently protected through a conservation easement between Mount Pleasant Waterworks and the Lowcountry Land Trust. It is located at the end of Fred McKay Way near MPW’s main office (1619 Rifle Range Road).
What to Know: Participants should plan to wear closed-toe shoes. Bring work gloves, a water bottle, and bug spray. Long-sleeves are recommended. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Parking is available along Fred McKay Way. Questions? Email cgwallover@mpwonline.com.
