April 2023 – Removing arboreal ivy from the cottonwood trees! In this technique we cut the ivy around the tree and remove downwards, all of the ivy up the tree will die in the coming months!

March 2023 – Finally some sun! A busy day planting over 45 native shrubs in the park!

February 2023 – Another rainy day removing ivy and blackberry as well as planting trees and shrubs!

January 2023 – Volunteers hard at work removing ivy and planting conifers!

 


For over 40 years I have reveled in the beauty of the forest, the estuarine marsh, and other such places where I have spent much of my time. When stresses and strains get to me, even now, I need only take a forest walk, run my hands along the furrowed bark of a Douglas-fir, or watch the yellow and brown, big-leaf maple leaves sail effortlessly to the ground to be rejuvenated.
