February 9, 2010: This has been a very active winter for the Glassbar Island Volunteers.

In February, Glassbar Island Volunteers partnered with Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah and Oregon State Parks to remove blackberries and English ivy, both exotic weeds that choke out native plants and trees. Girdling ivy on tree trunks suppresses ivy berry production and the spread of this weed. Mowing blackberries allows native wildflowers and shrubs to recover and thrive.

The Glassbar Island Volunteers really appreciate the time and effort that the volunteers have contributed in this effort.
