7 March (Sunday @ 1:00PM)

You’ve all seen this property while waiting at the Rt. 1 stop light at the end of Long Hill Road.  Look across the West River, which follows the road at this point, and you bear witness to all of the major players in the Guilford invasive plant species hit list …
all conveniently located on a GLCT island in the West River.  The plan is to remove as much as we can over the course of the afternoon,
hopefully uncovering the stone wall that forms the eastern bank of the river.  Meet at the VFW rear parking lot, at the end of Mill Road.

Bring loppers, small hand saws, sturdy hand clippers, and work gloves. [Duration estimate: 3 to 4 hours]
