Help remove an invasive plant from the Mystic River! 
Overview: Help Friends of Horn Pond and MyRWA remove an invasive plant from Horn Pond! Volunteers will pair up and head out in canoes to hand-pull water chestnut, an invasive aquatic plant that spreads over the water surface, crowding out native plants and altering the water chemistry.

We will provide the canoes, paddles, life jackets, and gloves. Be sure to wear sunscreen and clothes/footwear that you don't mind getting dirty and wet! We recommend quick-dry fabrics and water sandals.

Event capacity is limited based on the number of canoes we have on site — pre-registration is required and please only register if you will make it that day. If you have your own canoe, you are welcome to bring it (please make a note in your registration)!

**Note: you must be 6 years or older to participate. Youth aged 6-11 may participate under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian. Youth aged 12-17 may participate without a parent or guardian present at the event but waivers must be signed by a parent or guardian beforehand.

Location Details: Bathroom, water, and cell service are available. We will meet on the causeway. Walk down the path from 90 Sturgis St and follow yard signs to the canoes.

Activity Details: Each shift will paddle for approximately an hour and a half, covering 0.5-1 mile total. Horn Pond is great for beginners with calm, shallow water. You do not need to know how to swim to participate. Volunteers will be asked to move canoes, paddle, and pull water chestnut plants up by hand. If you have any accessibility concerns about these activities or if you prefer to help out on land instead of on the water, please reach out to daria.santollani@mysticriver.org — our events are flexible and we would love to chat about ways we can assist your participation!
