DATE: 08/18/2016
TIME: 9:00am-11:00am (prompt start, estimated end)
Terri Tipping has been leading an effort to try to remove some of the non-native invasive plants (primarily Multiflora Rose) from the Judge Morris section of White Clay Creek State Park. Over the last several weeks, we have cleared about a half mile from the parking lot counter clockwise around the trail. If we get enough interest may make this a regular Wilmington Trail Club activity. Unfortunately, we have gravitated to Thursday mornings (Opposite the Thursday hikes) so far. If we get enough interest to continue this as a regular WTC activity we’ll need to see if we can find a better time slot not opposite a scheduled hike.
We usually start at 9 and quit about 11. This is a dirty and thorny job, so long pants, long sleeves and work gloves are recommended. Most of the plants pull easily by hand but on a rare occasion will need a tool to dig the roots out (I have a cutting mattock and Terri uses a small shovel). Most of the work is in the shade, but bug repellent is recommended.
