The Drum Point Ivy League was started in the Fall of 2021 in an effort to safeguard the health of trees in our community. Since then, volunteers have removed invasive ivy
from hundreds of trees in Drum Point.
The group meets the second Saturday in the cooler months of November through March from 10:00 a.m. until noon. Volunteers can attend the entire session or any portion thereof.
Upcoming dates include:
January 11, 2025, February 8, 2025, and March 8, 2025.
Watch your email for location information each month.
Contact the Association office to volunteer.

You may have noticed a tall plant growing along the waterways. The plant, known as Phragmites, is an invasive species. It has a thick stalk that can grow to heights of 13 feet. The DPPOA is working with specialists certified by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources in the control of this plant, which according to the DNR, “reduces the diversity of plant and wildlife species.” The following link provides information on how you, as a property owner, might control Phragmites
During the 2009 legislative session, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Chesapeake Bay Phosphorus Reduction Act prohibiting the sale of lawn fertilizer that is not low-phosphorous fertilizer. The legislation helps protect the Chesapeake Bay from high concentrations of phosphorus that can lead to algae blooms and oxygen depletion.
