Thanks to all the volunteers that made our first Summer Workday in Garber such a success. We were able to clear erhardta from Bob's place and Harwood Creek, thistle from Horsetail Meadow and Rispin Meadow, and continue with Cape Ivy the Cape Ivy Removal Project. After the extreme heat of last week it was a pleasure to be under the cool of the oaks, maples and buckeyes (some of which are still blooming). A few pictures below tell the story:

Removing Cape Ivy off trail - Mark and his team have been so successful
at removing the Cape Ivy from the trail that they're now
continuing in hard to get to places. Persistence has paid off! |

Removing invasives from Rispin Meadow. It's hard to remember
this beautiful meadow 5 years ago with ivy so thick you couldn't see
through the meadow to the trees! |
