Looks like this Sunday will be another unseasonably lovely day and a good day for cutting English ivy at the base of trees so that the vines above will die. This is beneficial to the tree and prevents spread of the seed to other places. This plant only forms flower, fruit and seed after climbing a vertical surface. Birds then spread the seed to other sites. You could prevent the sprouting of hundreds of new plants in other places with a few clips of your pruners!
We will even take a break for a little winter tree ID walk if you are interested.
- Sunday, March 1 from 1 – 3 p.m.
- If you can only stay an hour, that’s OK. Every hour counts.
- Bring gloves, hand clippers & a small saw if you have one. An old screwdriver is sometimes helpful for removing ivy from trees; we will show you how.
- Bring your own water bottle.
