TREES, Inc. Tools Needed to Battle Asian Bush Honeysuckle

TREES Inc is leading an effort, together with Sycamore Trails RC&D, and the Terre Haute City Parks and Recreation Dept., to eradicate Asian Bush Honeysuckle from city parks and educate residents of the Wabash Valley about the need to remove ABH from private property. We are working to assemble groups of adults and young people from many different organizations, who will help us to - one by one - destroy these bushes. But we can't do this without tools. We are requesting donations to purchase 10 loppers and 10 pruners to help us cut down these bushes. With your kind and generous assistance. we will be buying these or similar items. The loppers cost about $30 and the pruners cost about $21.

Asian Bush Honeysuckle is an invasive bush that is devastating our parks and forests by pushing out native species of bushes, plants and flowers and destroying the natural habitat, favored by many forms of wildlife. Questions? Please call Jane Morse, 812-239-9111.
