Kudzu Park Clean-up - Nov 3

Post date: Nov 3, 2012 12:15:42 PM

From Shane Trahan:

This coming Saturday November 3rd the city or Raleigh has donated a

number of trees to be planted in the Kudzu park area located at the

intersections of Marshall, Blount, and Mulberry streets. We are

looking for volunteers to come and plant trees in this area!!

The city recently cleared out much of the Kudzu and this is a unique

opportunity for our neighborhood to reclaim this area from the Kudzu.

The new trees will not only deter the kudzu from growing but will also

help to lessen noise coming from the trains that use the tracks on the

other side of the kudzu park area. This is a definite win win for

our community.

I cannot express the importance of reclaiming this area, the Kudzu is

highly invasive and if we reclaim this area with trees we can provide

homes for birds, squirrels and other animals that live in our area.

This will also add value to the homes in this area by providing more

natural space to be enjoyed by everyone in our community.

Please come out to the Kudzu park area between 9AM and 1 PM this

coming Saturday. Bring a shovel and a strong back and help us reclaim

the Kudzu Park area!!

I look forward to seeing you there!!!
