WHAT’S HAPPENING AT FRANCKLOW PARK?

 

INVASIVES REMOVAL PROJECT

SATURDAY,  JUNE 24 -- 7 AM - TIL?
(Til it gets too HOT or we run out of steam!)


Come out Saturday morning to be a part of the project sponsored by Friends of Francklow Park (if weather allows)

 

Part of the plan for Francklow Park has been to encourage the growth of native tree and plant species in the park.  A number of non-native or domesticated plants such as Chinese Tallow (Triadica sebifera, native of eastern Asia), Japanese Ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum, native of Japan, Korea) and Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinese, native of China) among others are evident in the park.  These plants with their hardy, aggressive growth shade, out compete and displace the native species.  The objective of the project is to remove these invasives from the park over time.

Come out Saturday and be a part of the project.
 

(This is NOT a suitable project for young children.)

BRING:                Pruning saws, heavy duty loppers

WEAR:                  Gloves, long sleeves, sun protection
