Project Site: Fee Plaza

Team Gateway’s biggest project, in size and amount of invasive species and poison ivy, was at Fee Plaza, located at the entrance to the park. Tree of heaven, Japanese knotweed, Japanese black pine, and mimosa were among the many invasive plants at Fee Plaza. The team did cut stump treatment of over 6,300 trees of heaven, six pine trees, five mimosa trees, and less than an acre of Japanese knotweed. Overall the team was excellent at tackling this prodigious task set before them.
