The Ashburn Village Invasives Removal Team (AVIRT) is returning to Pavilion Lake to continue its invasive plant removal efforts.
Pavilion Lake has been the focus of more AVIRT removal efforts than any other location, with the goal of making it the first invasives-free lake in Loudoun County. The work is paying off, with more than 60 native plant species now identified at the lake.
AVIRT is looking for volunteers to help remove newly emerged Bradford pear and white mulberry saplings, as well as bush honeysuckle that was missed during previous efforts. Volunteers will also learn how to identify these invasive species and use the cut-stump method for removal.
