Phase II of Area 2, pulling and bagging knotweed. Pulling up and bagging knotweed is easy and satisfying; you can see the results immediately when you uncover a native Jack-in-the-Pulpit that’s been struggling under the knotweed.

Between 2023 and 2024, TRLC put in more than 100 hours clearing invasives from around the wetland copse (“The island”) in the southern field, and in 2024 we planted native species there to replace them. This year we hired a contractor to remove invasives from the banks of the brook between the two fields, so we are making progress!
At this work party, we will continue to remove common buckthorn and bittersweet vines within and around the island. Park at the end of the cul-de-sac on Stone Hill.
