Francklow Invasives Project — Work Day–7:30 AM Start

INVASIVES REMOVAL PROJECT 

SATURDAY, June 25 – 7:30 AM – TIL? 

Come out Saturday morning to be a part of the project. 

Part of the plan for Francklow Park has been to encourage the growth of native tree and 
plant species in the park.  A number of non-native or domesticated plants such as Chinese Tallow 

(Triadica sebifera, native of eastern Asia), Japanese Ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum, native of 
Japan, Korea) and Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinese, native of China) among others are evident in  the park.  These plants with their hardy, aggressive growth will shade, out compete and displace  the native species.  The objective of the project is to remove these invasives from the park over 
time. 

 (This is NOT a suitable project for young children.) 

 BRING:           Pruning saws, heavy duty loppers
