Ivy killing campaign
Invasive ivy is one of the top killers of Garry oaks and other trees in Lakewood, where it has been allowed to grow rampant throughout the city. Not only does it smother trees, it also pulls them down under its weight.
It is up to us to help people get rid of it and spread the word about how bad it is. LeMay’s has kindly donated dumpsters for our past ivy killing brigades, and we will be organizing the next one in about a month.
