Here, the crew has removed ivy from the ground
- before and after photos - January 2010
The sea of ivy on the
ground in the "before" photo not only makes the land
impassable for humans, it creates a non-native
monoculture that does not support wildlife (other
than rats). As the ivy begins to climb up the trees,
its vines thicken and strengthen, digging in and slowly choking
and killing the tree. Ivy vines that were climbing up a
tree are shown below, after being sawed off by
Bernedine and her crew. Who knew ivy vines could be
so thick?? |
