Discovery Park - South Meadow Blackberry Purge05/17/2025

Activities

Help us make way for more native plant habitat by removing the many invasive blackberry plants encroaching on the south meadow. This will take a combination of pruning and digging the blackberry out of the forest edge of the meadow. We will mulch disturbed areas with wood chips to keep weed seeds and resprouts at bay. All tools will be provided.

All ages OK

10 out of 20 participants registered.

What to Bring

WATER and work gloves (I'll have some loaners if you need to borrow). Please wear long pants and sturdy boots. Dress for the weather. We will have wheelbarrows, tillers and heavy-duty shovels to accomplish our task. We'll take a water break halfway through the event.
