The Community Turns Out for Biffle Park    

Sixteen people helped us root out invasive plants that are killing trees in Biffle Park.  Volunteers removed English ivy and privet, focusing on areas near the path and bridges. They also picked up litter.

Biffle Park has another opportunity to be of service. Please bring work gloves and water. We will provide the tools.

Please share these opportunities with your neighbors and on social media. 

Our work removing English ivy uncovered a native plant called Pipsissewas, which grows in well drained woodlands. This tiny plant, only 1 to 3 inches long, will sprout short stalks with white or pink flowers soon. It is a member of the wintergreen family. Many Native Americans traditionally used it to break up kidney stones and treat various ailments.
