Join Merry Lea volunteers and the Kosciusko Water & Woodland Invasive Partnership (KWWIP) for an invasive shrub work day!Autumn olive, bush honeysuckle and multiflora rose are some of Merry Lea's common invasive "woody" plants. We will use loppers to cut the stems and daubers to paint the stumps with herbicide*. This method keeps herbicide use to a minimum and targets only the plants you want to treat. We will work in teams with one person cutting and one person daubing.
The roses are THORNY, long sleeves are recommended no matter how hot it is. We will be working off trail, so please wear sturdy shoes and long pants. Insect/tick repellent, long sleeves, and work/garden gloves are also HIGHLY recommended.
Please also bring drinking water and anything else you think you may need during this activity.
Meeting location will be determined a based on site conditions and priority. Freya will reach out to you with that information prior to the event. Please email [email protected] with any questions!
*Volunteers must be over 18 to apply herbicide. Registration required.
