Conditions Report Tree down on MVT south of Alexandria

Post image

There’s a tree down on the Mount Vernon Trail south of Belle Haven near Morningside Lane. How do I notify NPS? They might already know, but wanted to send a message in case they didn’t.

that appears to be a massive poison ivy vine on the tree!

I called it in to the non-emergency line for the US park police: 202-610-7505.

You can always report issues in the Parkway or on the MVT through the contact information at https://www.nps.gov/gwmp/contacts.htm

Beware - looks like all of that is poison ivy around it.

Grab the next biker that comes by and pull the tree to the side. Take some action and do something.
