Spa Creek Conservancy, a non-profit organization, gathers volunteers for ivy abatement and other efforts to improve the health of the creek that borders our park.

English Ivy

is an invasive species that came here from Europe around 1727. Unfortunately, it causes harm by adding weight - which can eventually topple a tree. As a ground cover it harbors moisture which provides a breeding place for mosquitoes.

The best way to deal with it is to snip the vine but not remove it since that could damage the tree.
