This past drizzly Saturday a group of stalwart and dedicated souls armed with clippers and shovels, led by volunteer coordinator Louise Bondelind, launched into the invasive plants along the river bank behind Cliff Miller’s SchoolHouse. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., thorns had pierced legs and arms, roots of invasive plants were dug out, piles of debris were hauled off to a bum pile and the area was cleared. Exceeding expectations for the day and under the supervision of designer Mark Malik, the group also planted about 20 trees including Black Gum, Red Oak, Eastern Redbud and Red-osier Dogwood.
Over 100 shrubs and seedling trees (including Buttonbush, Winterberry Holly, Silkey Dogwood, Joepye-weed, Bee balm) will be delivered to the RappFLOW office by next weekend. You are invited to join the crew on Saturday, March 31 at 10 a.m. for this massive planting (lunch will be served). Mark Malik has designed this buffer, using all native plants, to provide visual beauty and color throughout the year. This is your opportunity to contribute to the completion of this phase of the Thornton River Re-Leaf Project and to learn about how to clean and develop a riparian buffer. Future plans include continuation of the buffer and creating a walking trail along the river toward Turkey Mountain.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to dig, learn and participate in the beautification of our river. Just show up with a shovel and clippers at 10 a.m. on Saturday!
