Forest Park Stewardship in Linnton

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 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.
