This Earth Day Activity, sponsored by the Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation will involve the removal of English Ivy from the trees and from the ground in parks and public spaces in Lake Forest Park. Volunteers will gather at Grace Cole Nature Park. Some tools will be provided, or you may bring your own. Lunch will be provided. Ivy removal is important to prevent the trees from being smothered by the plant, to prevent spread of this serious invasive and to improve the wildlife habitat of the forest and the streams by allowing the native species of vegetation to prevail.
The work and the environmental education element will be supervised by the Friends of Cedar River Watershed.
