Planned Activities
Following the ranger talk, volunteers will work to remove invasive brush from the forest and cultural landscape. Chinese privet has created a thicket that weakens the health of the native forest species and blocks the battlefield landscape from view.
History or Educational Activities
There will be an interpretive talk at 9:00AM about the Malvern Hill battle and landscape.
