We will meet in the parking lot at Ripley School located at 120 Meriam Road, Concord. Trail Steward Tricia Garrett will lead this pull event.
We will focus on removing buckthorn from an area where we’ve already made significant progress. We will manually pull plants or use a weed wrench for more established specimens. The woody material will be stacked in brush piles and root systems will be managed to prevent re-establishment.
This location is wooded and will be mostly shaded. Poison ivy can be avoided.
