Fw: No Ivy Day - May 7, 2005   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #78 of 197 |
 

Below is early progress on an example of sites where
non-native invasive plant removal will reach maintenance
phase following a major work effort at each site for about
3 to 5 years to remove the massive populations of species.
 
Regular stewardship projects are conducted in all seasons
including Winter, early Spring, late Spring, Summer, and late
Summer.  This high intensity program is followed by a low
intensity annual maintenance program for plants we have missed,
plants emerging from the seed bank, and occasional plants
migrating in from neighboring areas.

Non-native Invasive Plant Removal

Non-native invasive plants are smothering and displacing native vegetation. Our objective is to remove the invasives to allow natives to grow back. Before you begin, you will learn to identify some species of invasive plants and the proper techniques for removing them.

From the Beltway: Take 495 to the US-1/BALTIMORE AVE NORTH exit, EXIT 25, toward LAUREL. Go about 1 mile, passing the National Agricultural Research Center at Beltsville (BARC), and turn left at the traffic light onto Montgomery Rd. Proceed 3 blocks and turn left on Sellman Road. Go about 5 blocks and turn right into Little Paint Branch park at the bottom of the hill. Meet at the Beltsville Community Center parking lot. There are full indoor toilet facilities and a large seating area for lunch.
