Woodland Trail Project
During the summer, student volunteers from Student Conservation Association refurbished the Roosevelt Woodland Trail. Unfortunately the woods around the trail between Rochdale Avenue and North Valley Road are being invaded by Burning Bush, Multiflora Rose and Barberry. To halt this attack, the Invasive Species Committee will be targeting the removal of these invaders on Saturday, October 29th (November 5th rain date). If you would like to help out, please email the Invasive Species Committee at rooseveltinvasive@outlook.com or register by calling Sharyn at 609-448-1693. Although we would like volunteers to sign up before October 14th to facilitate planning, you can just come Saturday and register on site. We will start at the Rochdale trail entrance, 10:00 AM.
Attack on Autumn Olive Project
In April the Roosevelt Environmental Commission sponsored the Attack on Autumn Olive organized by the Invasive Species Committee. Volunteers removed Autumn Olive trees from about 10,000 square feet at the Corner of Spruce Lane and Clarksburg Road. Since then, the stumps have been removed and the area cleaned up in preparation for mulching and planting the area with butterfly friendly natives. This project supports the Mayor’s Proclamation of May 6th, 2016 to restore habitat for the Monarch Butterfly.
