Watchung Reservation Invasive Plant Removal

Conservation Service Hours: April 18th, 2026, 8:00am - Noon

Operation WRIP (Watchung Reservation Invasive Plants) will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Registration is required to participate.  Camping and participation is FREE.

The goal of the event will be to remove as many invasive plants from the Watchung Reservation forest ecosystem as possible in one morning. 
On that date, it is expected that Japanese barberry and multiflora rosa bushes will be the only plants in the forest with green leaves, making it easy to identify them. The plants will be removed by pulling, digging up the root balls, or cutting. 

Participants must arrive and check-in from 8:00 am to 8:30 am. Participants will park at the Trailside Nature & Science Center parking lot, 452 New Providence Road, Mountainside and will gather at the amphitheater located between there and the Scout Camping Area. Union County Parks staff will provide instructions on how to remove plants and then make assignments. All participants will return to the amphitheater at noon to check-out. 

Service hours can be credited toward rank advancements or as conservation hours for Camping Merit Badge or the 50-Miler Award (a good opportunity for Philmont crews). Operation WRIP will be a light rain or shine event

Camping will be offered Friday and Saturday nights. April 17-19th
Scouts can choose to camp or attend only the service project

Cost: Conservation project is free; Camping will be cost of food (TBD)
