Activities

We are experimenting with a modified Miyawaki style forested restoration where we are using live stakes densely planted amongst standard forest restoration spacing to create a dense planting to shade out Himalayan blackberries. This area was planted last fall but needs a little bit of care this year to make sure the intended plants are thriving. This will involve a lot of pulling cleavers, thistle, blackberry resprouts and perennial pea to give room for the native plants to thrive. All tools will be provided.

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 loppers, wheelbarrows, tillers and heavy-duty shovels to accomplish our task. We'll take a water break halfway through the event.
