Habitat Restoration (cutting honeysuckle)

Get Connected Icon Happens On May 25, 2019

Description

The WWC has a number of beautiful wooded properties along the Ohio River, West of downtown Cincinnati.  One of our biggest tasks is removing invasive plants such as honeysuckle, so that native plants including wildflowers can return.  This is physical outside work, cutting honeysuckle, and putting the cut honeysuckle into large piles.  This is a perfect time of year to do this work.  It is cool enough to wear protective long sleeves and long pants.  And we get to the honeysuckle right as it starts to grow again.

We have done a number of these projects so far this Winter/Spring with great success! 

A detailed description of the actual honeysuckle removal work is attached.

This work will be at our Buckeye Preserve in Saylor Park.  Take the uphill driveway between 6442 and 6452 Hillside Ave, and continue to our parking lot (short distance).
