In June we reported how three invasive species—purple loosestrife, garlic mustard and Japanese bittersweet—were threatening the trees and grounds around the Finn Camp. The worst offender is probably the bittersweet, which you can see strangling a tree below.
Some of these vines can be removed with loppers, but the larger ones require something like a bow saw.
On Sunday, November 13, at 10:00 a.m., we could use volunteers to come out (meet at the pole barn like the Forest Management Committee) to attack the bittersweet invaders in particular. If we could cut out the offending bittersweet during the woods committee’s own session and coordinate with them the pickup of cuttings for delivery to the kokko pile that would work well.
