Each year the Friends of the Scioto River organizes a cleanup around and below the Greenlawn Dam. However we have never cut the invasive honeysuckle that crowds the bike trail.
This year I'd like to organize another, earlier event, to remove honeysuckle and get it out of the way of the litter cleanup. Some of this is around the dam but most of it is along the bike trail in Berliner.
(If you don't know what honeysuckle is, pay attention as the autumn leaves drop. It will still have leaves after the leaves have fallen off of almost everything else. You can see how it forms thickets that provide good cover for ambush and other criminal activity.)
The work would consist of cutting the honeysuckle and dragging it to a chipper. We might have a city crew with chainsaws and a chipper; if not, FOSR can hire a chipper crew.
I'd like to schedule this for early April, a week or two in advance of all the Earth Day volunteer events around town in mid-and late April.
Is there interest among the bike trail users here, or anyone, in volunteering for such an event?
