Activities

An area of recently planted trees is being overrun by aggressive blackberries. Please help us save these trees.

We'll be attacking a hibernating patch of blackberry, sneaking up on them just as they are waking up. It's amazing how much easier it is to clear blackberries this time of year. Our task will be a combination of cutting back the canes with loppers and digging up the roots to completely wallop them. They won't know what hit 'em!
