No experience is necessary. We will cut honeysuckle with loppers and saws. Then, the stumps will be treated with herbicide to stop regrowth.
It will be muddy. If the Izaak Walton thinks it is too wet and vehicles may get stuck, we will send an email out on Friday, March 21 to notify everyone and we will go out the following Saturday.
What to bring: Clothes and shoes that can get muddy. Work gloves if you have them. Loppers if you have them. A water bottle.
