Teams “New to Seattle" and "Friends you haven't met yet" gathered at a Hot Project to help EarthCorps seek and destroy the EVIL IVY. We learned a lot about invasive species in the Pacific Northwest, which includes ivy among many other plants. It was a long day of hard work that left us all proud and exhausted. This was my easiest day as Team Captain because EarthCorps was so organized.
Ever since our mission, I have
been seeing the evil ivy everywhere in the city. When I was with Katie (New to Seattle team member) we saw a particularly bad ivy infestation that was taking over a beautiful old tree. The only thing Katie could say was "well, that tree is a goner." I have almost resorted to keeping a lopper and other gardening tools in the trunk of my car to save these poor trees!
All I can say is, don’t plant ivy!
