30 March 2025, 1:00pm - 3:00pm
A nice straightforward CITO in partnership with the Cougar Creek Streamkeepers. We will visit this site again this year and clear it from invasive species. This is the 10th visit here and the first of 2025.
We have two tasks for this event:
- We will continue to remove ivy from the ground, hillside and tree trunks.
- In addition, we'll clear out any garbage in the area.
Ivy Removal:
No need to describe this too much other than to mention the hillside is fairly steep in sections so appropriate footwear is essential. e.g. hikers or gum boots. Runners highly not recommended. Please bring your own gloves and clippers if available as we have limted supplies.
We'll be moving all the ivy curbside for the City to collect. In this terrain typically old tarps work best, garbage cans also work. Bring what you can please.
Garbage Removal:
We will clear out any garbage in the area.
