Invasive Plant Removal
Thank you to all of the volunteers who came out on Saturday to remove invasive species! We removed a large English holly tree, some lamium, Scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry from a riparian area in the Larwood Creek tributary. A huge thanks to our volunteers, and to Strategic Forest Management for clearing an access path!
