Thanks to all who came to Garber to help remove invasive weeds on Creek to
Bay Day. Some worked in Fern Glade freeing trees and ferns from the ivy that
was choking them. Others worked along Harwood Creek removing Himalayan
blackberry, Cape ivy, and even cutting up a tree that had fallen into the creek
at Bridge One. Still others walked the trail cutting back and pulling the
invasive weeds to help keep the trail accessible for all to use. At the end of
the day we all gathered together sharing our stories and pleased at the
advances we made towards restoring this beautiful native oak woodland park. Click here to see more pictures.
