by the Web Curator

The stalwart Thistle St. volunteers.	Thistle St. volunteers gathering tools and getting final directions.
Creek Steward Kirsten Rohrbach explains the fine points of removing all of the root system of invasive plants.	Kirsten demonstrates the proper depth to plant a native plant.
The hardy Brandon St. volunteers.	The brand new Greg Davis Park "rainbow sign".
Mom hard at work with her charges close at hand.	The wheelbarrows never seemed to stop. They hauled mulch in one direction and brought out the invasive plants in the other.
More invasive headed for the disposal pile.	Many yards of mulch were spread over cardboard barriers to hold down the re-growth of the invasive species.
This large area was cleared of invasive plants and mulched.	This is the massive pile of invasive plants removed from the site this day.
Two hardworking students taking a short break near the end of the day.	Heavy lifting involved as wheelbarrows of mulch are muscled over the guardrail so it can be spread on the slope below the road.
