Activities

Join us on March 21st to pull invasive ivy and dig Armenian blackberry to protect and restore the Silent Creek Forest! A small patch of ivy has spread out of nearby backyards, and we need your help to pull it out before it becomes expensive to eradicate. Ivy climbs trees, catches the wind, and topples them like a ship's sail.

The Silent Creek forest is one of our City's most beautiful and precious natural areas, so let's take good care of it!

All ages OK

2 out of 25 participants registered.

What to Bring

Dress for the weather and wear clothes that can get dirty! As we may encounter thorns, wear long sleeves. Bring a water bottle, sturdy shoes, and a cheerful attitude! We have gloves and tools you can use.

RSVP ahead of time. If you're under 18, print out and bring a signed Youth Release Waiver.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Curtis Park gazebo at the intersection of Curtis Dr. and Silent Creek Ave. If you don't see us there, walk down the hill toward the pile of mulch.
