Thorndyke Park / Forest work PARTY!August 27, 9am-12pm @ Thorndyke Park While the exact tasks can vary, our projects focus on improving the forests and parks in our local cities.

In order to help create healthy forests, the work can include: • Removing aggressive weeds (like English Ivy or Himalayan Blackberry) • Maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed Invasive plant Clean-up (rain or shine) 2821 Thorndyke Ave W We're pulling ivy and small invasive trees and black berry shoots coming back in the area we have replanted.
