Lock 12

Submitted by kconner.corps on Sun, 06/27/2010 - 20:50

Our first solo field hitch at Lock 12 located just a few miles from the heart of Washington, DC off the Clara Barton Parkway. Lock 12 was convered in destructive and invasive vegetation causing damage to the masonry and metal workings. Vegetation included English Ivy, Tree of Heaven and various mosses. Vegetation was removed using loppers, pruning shears and chainsaws. All vegetation was treated with Garlon 3A.
