Outside the Wall—North Maintenance

At last, Team Gateway had a project site that had no poison ivy! At least they thought so until they ran into its vines crawling up the trees. However there were no WALLS of poison ivy that the crew was used to at Fee Plaza! With the help of Program Coordinator Mike Stefancic, the crew removed and treated over 400 shrubs of autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) in the south fields of North Maintenance. At the end of the day, they finished the site and it was a job well done!!!
