Invasive No More

Near Perfect Weather

Last Monday 60 brave souls helped clear out ivy, blackberries and a bunch of unwanted things from the lot that is the home to the King Market.

Thanks to the cold, damp blistered and sore volunteers for all their efforts. The following recap of the day is from the King Neighborhood Association’s Blog:

The community turned out on Monday, January 16th on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service to make a dent in the weeds and trash at King School Park. English ivy had taken over the south side of the parking lot at the King Neighborhood Facility and was hiding all manner of things thereunder. A robust group of neighbors, King School PTA members, and invasive species foes dug, hacked snipped and pulled all day. The result is that the strip of land is now nearly completely cleared and several truck loads were hauled away.

Eradicators

 
Thanks to a grant from NECN and the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, the area will be re-landscaped with native plants that are not invasive and that will thrive in the location while providing an easily maintained habitat. There are tentative plans to finish the clearing on President’s Day, February 20th.
