This team of 21 tackled the initial clearing of the forest surrounding the garden area at the Browns Ferry Community Center. They removed invasive Himalayan blackberry and English ivy as well as pulled out diseased and invasive trees and brush that had been felled by the Operations Team.

Team Lazslo tackled the English ivy invading trees and outbuildings around the Center. They had the pleasure of meeting garter snakes and a sleepy newt living in the area. They removed invasive Himalayan blackberry and English ivy and left behind a clean area for future plantings of native species.
