Cresheim Trail volunteer workday Sat 1/17

Holiday break’s over, time to get back to work in the woods! Join us on Saturday, January 17th for the first Cresheim Trail volunteer workday of the new year. We’ll take advantage of January sightlines and free some trees from the deathly grip of vines, english ivy in particular.

English ivy is as invasive as they come, aggressively spreading to outcompete native groundcover, and climbing up trees indiscriminately, ultimately choking them if left alone. We’ll have some other “offseason” things to do too for a fun wintry morning in the great outdoors.

We’ll meet at the classic CT meetup spot, on northbound Cresheim Valley Drive, opposite Navajo Street, amongst the tree tubes and cages. [Map.] It’s a three-minute walk from the Germantown Avenue trailhead. If you’re driving, there’s room to safely park on the shoulder. Please do NOT park on southbound CVD.

It’s happening Saturday, January 17th at 9AM.
