FPVSP is committed to restoring the Patapsco Valley's native habitat and biodiversity.  To fulfill this mission, the members of FPVSP have intitiated a campaign to cut and remove two of the valley's most notorious invasive vines: porcelain berry and oriental bittersweet. Soon we will be joining DNR staff to eradicate a new threat - the wavyleaf basketgrass.  

Those interested in cutting vines are welcome to attend our vine cutting session.  Please bring pruners or loppers and work gloves.
