Kubota forest work - always ivy!May 30, 10am-12pm @ Kubota Gardens Natural Area So much ivy! Every month, volunteers primarily are removing ivy so that trees, bushes, ferns and other native plants have room to grow. As you will quickly see, the ivy covers large areas of ground and is climbing up trees. We also are discovering small Himalayan blackberry plants and getting those out immediately is a priority. No experience is needed - just bring your energy and interest in making a difference! more |
