This is done with the expert help of the District Parks Department who showed us exactly what we were pulling out. Our job was to eliminate the horse chestnut seedlings. There were hundreds springing up from the dropped conkers of last fall.
We also helped to cut down sycamore maples and holly which have made themselves very much at home here. They grow wild everywhere. The European blackberry was also pulled up. Good thing we all had heavy gloves on!
On Monday morning, there will be some huge piles of branches and chopped greens to haul away. A successful day.
