3/21 at 14th & Holly

We began the day at the 14th and Holly site removing Himalayan blackberry along the trail. We were able to remove 1,000 sq.ft. of Himalayan blackberry by the end of the day. Local clarinetist Amy Denio came out to perform while we worked. She is pictured here sitting on one of the rocks that will be used for a new trail in the greenbelt.

Once we finished removing blackberry, we began planting. Our crew leaders held a short demonstration on proper planting techniques, after which we were able to plant 77 plants including 61 sword ferns and 16 myrtles.







We ended the day putting mulch rings around the plants and more plantings along 12th and Holly. We planted 85 understory species at this site.
