Reedy Creek and a small tributary, Crooked Branch, flow through Crooked Branch Ravine Park. This small, passive park is home to many native trees, shrubs, and perennials that could be lost to advancing invasive plant species, particularly English ivy and privet. Reedy Creek Coalition members are planning to have a workday once each month to remove invasive species. Our efforts will focus on 1) removing ivy from trees and other plants that are significant sources of seed and 2) monitoring and removing small patches of non-native plants and seedlings from an area that is not yet severely impacted.
- Please consider joining us on Sunday, March 5 from 1-3 p.m.
- We will meet at the end of Northrop Street where there is a path into the park.
- Bring gloves, pruners, and, if you have one, a small saw for cutting large ivy vines.
We intend to continue these efforts on a monthly basis and and hope that you will join us.
This lovely little evergreen is easily found in the park, but will not survive as English ivy spreads. The plant blooms in late spring. Please help save the native plants of Crooked Branch Ravine.
