For those interested in some volunteering, there’s a group that does ivy pulling:
Hi All:
While I realize this is late notice, tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 p.m. we’ll
meet in the Grinnell Natural Area near the bike path bridge (just west of
the Life Sciences Addition) to finish the week off right- by killing
invasive ivy (and anything else that we deem invasive and/or not
“native”).
It’s a pleasant way to finish off a grueling week of desk-jockeying (for
those of us lucky enough to have cushy office jobs) and get that all-
important endorphin-high that you only get after straining to remove ivy
and the like.
This is the first of our “Spring ‘09 Second Friday Afternoon Ivy Hunt”
series. Put these dates on your calendars now:
Friday, March 13
Friday, April 10
Friday, May8
Meet a 4:00, work like dogs ’til 5:00, clean-up and perhaps go for beers
if our other responsibilities allow.
Instruction, gloves and some tools are provided but the pros amongst us
should bring our own stuff (just to show off our mad skills).
Hope you can make it. Invite interested friends, spread the word.
Cheers,
Tim (Pine)
