THE Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society IVY LEAGUE PULLERS are busy again this season!
WHY?
Ivy damages the bark of trees as it climbs and will eventually overtake even a mature tree,
weakening branches through its weight and preventing light from penetrating leaves.
Most importantly, our trees are important carbon sinks from the atmosphere, our
climate change heroes and this league is determined to keep them alive for the sake of our
planetary health!
The ivy on the ground also crowds the native species and needs removal. The park is to
remain “Natural”, so leave the sticks, branches, leaves, logs where they are – work around
them (or return the debris after pulling the ivy beneath).
WHEN? Saturday March 25th. 2023 @ 9AM for the start of the Ivy Pull Season.
WHERE? Meet at Cedar bridge: (as you go North on Pritchard, turn right on Cedar Avenue). Map: https://goo.gl/maps/mbhNz18nZEvRdr157
