The vines are gone, the bush honeysuckle has been cut back and a meadow is coming to Norwood Park. Little Falls Watershed Alliance is partnering with Montgomery Parks to restore a meadow below the soccer fields at the west end of the park.
Dozens of volunteers have spent 100s of hours cleaning out bush honeysuckle, porcelainberry vines, multi-flora rose and other invasive non-native plants. All their hard work has paid off as the debris will be removed, the land tilled and replanted with native flowers and shrubs.
Work will begin in late May or early June to clear the piles of logs and other debris. Community planting days are planned for the fall and spring of 2015.
Thank you to Whole Foods whose generous donation made this possible.
