Garth Nature Area/Proctor Park Work Day Collaboration
About the Event
Sunday, April 14th, 9 a.m.- Noon Parking lot of Garth Nature Area, 2799 North Garth. Volunteers will be cutting and pulling invasive honeysuckle using loppers, hand saws and hand pulling, treating cut honeysuckle stumps with herbicide, and performing trail work with COMOTA.
For the work events in Garth Nature Area and Proctor Park, we will be using folding saws and loppers to cut much larger honeysuckle that has been growing in that area for a while…we will also be coordinating our work days in Garth and Proctor with members of COMOTA (COMO Trail Association), and Beth Kelly will be leading a trail work group during the April 14th work day.
For the honeysuckle removal work, Missouri Conservation Corps will provide the tools, training, and gloves. Volunteers are asked to bring their own water bottle and sturdy footwear for outdoor work.
