Week 2

Introduction: Privet in the Crosshairs

We identified our invasive enemies, we learned how to properly combat them, and began our war against Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle. We learned how to mix herbicides and use brush cutters and tackled our first site with the fury of one thousand native plants. We worked in a few sites, most notably an old shooting range overrun with Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle. We put our herbicide and chainsaws to the test as we took down the overwhelming tract of invasive plants with great success.
