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 will resume our invasive removal efforts now that the weather is cooler.
- Please join us on Saturday, December 8, 2017 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.
- Only have an hour to spare? That’s quite alright. Every little bit helps.
- Map to meeting place.
The area where we will be working has oak, hickory, maple, black gum, fringe trees, wintergreen, cranfly orchids, and other native species. The diversity of species in just this small area speaks to the value of this park.
