Earth Corps 'ground hogs' grubbing out the small blackberry from the wetland buffer zone.

This is the wonderful Earth Corps crew that spent three days with Dale, getting rid of mostly Himalayan blackberry. They have the patience and expertise to spare the native berries (GoodBerry) while grubbing out the BadBerry. They taught Dale how to take apart a thicket, how to defeat a holly tree, and showed him how to wield a Stihl brushcutter. Cora is transformed! The land is so much more open. The trees are prettier without HBB climbing the branches. We seem to have more property, we've reclaimed so much from bramble. Earth Corps has agreed to come back in the fall to help us with step two of BadBerry eradication, which is to cut new growth and daub it with glyfphosate.
