Rotary RIPPED!
It was beautiful on Saturday and we pulled 72 large bags of mostly
English Ivy from Shoreline park. We had 25 volunteers- 8 men from
Innervisions, 2 Interactors, 5 volunteers, Sara Livingston from the
City and the rest were Rotarians. Lunch in the park afterwards was a
nice finish!
There is a toxin in English Ivy that repels animals from eating it. It
can also strangle a tree. It reduces biodiversity and it takes away
from the natural esthetics of nature.
Thanks Everyone!
Yay TEAM!
