The Dembrowsky-Nigro and Bandman families stopped by to pitch in at the Parcel 😊
They and their neighbors are creating another stop on the Pollinator Pathway - the Walgrove Avenue pocket-park - and wanted to see how Dobbs Ferry’s Adopt-a-Park works.
“It’s different each time we gather,” we told them.
We pulled out more Japanese Knotweed and unearthed a fence that was buried in a pile of woodchips. *
The children took our loop trail and rolled rocks into place to mark either side of the “bridge” and found roly-poly bugs in the process.
* NOTE: from the Conservation Advisory Board recommendations for removal of invasive vegetation on High St - 2018: "Properly dispose of infected wood chips as they contain Japanese Knotweed, the very invasives we are trying to remove! Do not reuse, as to not have these invastives pop up in another part of town. (burning may be the most effective way to destroy) Perhaps contact the tree company that did not take the woodchips away in the first place when they worked on site in 2015."
