English ivy is a non-native invasive that chokes and kills trees if allowed to grow up the trunks. The vines hold moisture to the tree causing fungal rot, the weight of the leaves in a storm can cause the trees to topple and more!

Join Little Falls Watershed Alliance to learn about the hows and whys of English Ivy removal. Our goal is to save the grove of trees at the intersection of Ogden and River before they are killed by the ivy vines.
