Conservation and Land Management
Tree Shepherds Ohio/Mount Airy Forest Division, a member of Mount Airy Forest Advisory Committee (MAFAC: Cincinnati Parks Advisory Council or CPAC), will be working in close collaboration with Cincinnati Parks Conservation & Land Management Team on land restoration on the eastern half of Mt. Airy Forest Park.
This area is bounded in the west by I-74, Colerain Avenue in the east, Shepherd Creek Road and West Fork Road in the north and south, respectively.
Join our team for one date or all of them. We will restore our beautiful native forest by killing invasive plants or stopping their spread. From late Fall through Winter and early Spring we'll cut and stack bush honeysuckle and other woody invasives. In Spring we'll pull and bag garlic mustard. In late Summer and early Fall we’ll pull and bag Japanese stilt grass and Japanese chaff flower, and throughout the year we may engage in other habitat restoration projects. This will usually be off trail in wooded, often hilly terrain.
We will be tackling different invasive plants depending upon the season. This may include: - Breaking down honeysuckle with loppers and handsaws* - Cutting out small sections of vines on trees with handsaws* - Removing and bagging garlic mustard or Japanese stiltgrass. *Trained Service People (TSP) will apply herbicide to cut stumps.
