Visible Progress

 We struck again on July 15th. It seemed that we caught the Ivy off guard, flanking it and pinching it between a new front and our previous front. Soon our focal area will have no more English Ivy to offer. I very much look forward to that day. 

On this meeting, four intrepid conservationists joined me in the fight to free PKP of invasive plants. We sweated and toiled, rejoicing in our very visible progress and the creatures that we encountered in the meantime. The grandness of the bottomland trees in our work area never fails to amaze, and knowing that they will no longer be encumbered by exotic vines is a wonderful feeling. It was another successful day pulling Ivy.

Soon we will take on woody plants in earnest. As we push towards fall, our efforts against woody trees and shrubs will be more effective. Join us August 5th as we resume our relentless attack on noxious weeds!
