Saving Trees at Rays Meadow
"Save the Trees" invasives removal
Rays Meadow (meet by the playground below synagogue lot)
Sat, 7/20 9-11 am
Some
young trees along the Creek at Ray's Meadow are nearly smothered by
invasive plants. So we're going out to save them. These trees are
particularly important because they help stabilize the Creek bank and
protect it from erosion.
Task: Pulling/cutting invasive vines from trees near the Creek.
Special
Guest: Steve Peck, MoCo Forest Conservation Inspector, will help locate the endangered trees. He's also great at identifying native and non-native flora in the park.
Please RSVP to tom@smerling.com so I can get a head count.
Directions to Ray's Meadow here. (Park on street, not in synagogue lot.)
