Celebrate Halloween AND the regional No Ivy Day and save trees from invasive English ivy! Join the Clackamas River Basin Council and help us control these weedy vines that threaten the health of our trees.

When left unchecked, the invasive English ivy climbs tree trunks and can lead to tree mortality. Ivy weighs down trees, shades out sunlight, and can create a sail effect during windstorms causing trees to fall.

During this work party we will work to save large trees along the Clackamas River at Cross Park. 

In this free 30 minute webinar from the Clackamas River Basin Council, learn ways that you can utilize the power of native plants to combat localized effects of climate change!

The presentation will be 30 minutes, with 15 minutes for a Q&A afterwards.
