We are a group of volunteers who enjoy and appreciate Forest Hill Park and all it has to offer. Our goals include preserving the park’s amenities by encouraging and demonstrating sensible management and enhancing the park area with projects such as invasive plant removal and erosion control. Forest Hill Park is a jewel, one of the oldest and loveliest open areas in Richmond, and we want it to remain so for many generations to come.

Saturday, October 30th / 10:00 to noon Friends of Forest Hill Park will be in the park on Saturday, October 30th between 10:00 and noon removing invasive plants. The main enemy is English ivy, but wisteria and Japanese honeysuckle are becoming major problems, as well. Removal/control of non-natives is a vital part of habitat restoration for our native animals, insects and birds that rely on native growth for homes and nutrition. We will meet at the Historic Neighborhood sign in the 3800 block of Forest Hill Avenue. Please come help us if you can. Each pair of hands working for even a few minutes makes a positive impact. Bring water and gloves and hand clippers if you have them. Friends of Forest Hill Park will be in the park on Saturday, October 30th between 10:00 and noon removing invasive plants.
