Activities

We will visit violence upon the invasive species at this job site, removing holly, ivy, clematis, and blackberry. Specifically, we will complete a couple of survival rings, freeing the trees of ivy that is depriving them of water and nutrients while adding significant weight to them, risking them falling down in a wind storm.

I always invite those who help clear areas in the spring to return in the fall to plant native plants in the area they cleared.

All ages OK

What to Bring

It's important to note that we will be working in a raw forest environment that might be muddy and will certainly be dirty. Please wear sturdy shoes and clothes you don't might getting dirty. I have a lot of work gloves but if you have your own, those are always best.

Where to Meet

Please refer to the map on this event web page for the location on South Frink Place at South Washington Street.
