Forest Park Conservancy & Linnton Environmental Group have been sponsoring ongoing neighborhood work party in our section of Forest Park. We have beeen removing English Ivy, pruning Holly, and planting native vegitation. The ivy epidemic is quickly consuming Forest Park infecting one in five trees. We'd enjoy having some extra hands to make sure we get the work completed, and win back some of the forest from this sprawling pest.

We have been restoring a section of Forest Park located at the end of NW 3rd St. If you would like to volunteer for our up coming restoration events in the forest please email mike_asprso@yahoo.com. Our work parties are a great way to get out in the forest and meet some of your neighbors. Training will be provided.

We are appreciative and grateful for all of the volunteers. Thank You!

Charlie briefs us on why volunteers are needed to tackle Ivy.













Linnton Environmental Group provided excellent refreshments and hospitality.














Darise and Jan provided exellent hospitality.



















Dozens of trees and shrubs were planted.















Girdling Ivy around trees is the first step in mananging invasive species.
















Training and a discussion about safety is important to having a fun day.

















Many of trees in our site were saved from eventually being destroyed by Ivy.
