More native plantings at Rosedale

This spring Native Roots Conservation Landscaping completed phase 3 of the slope rehabilitation project at Rosedale Conservancy! They removed all existing invasive plants, applied 100% biodegradable erosion control to stabilize the bank and aid in the establishment of new plants, and added all native plants and shrubs.

Phase 1 was work next to the driveway and Rosedale sign.
Phase 2 was work on the east end of the fence, to the right of the pedestrian gate.
Phase 3 was work on the western end of the fence, next to phase 1.

It’s not easy to work on a steep slope removing invasive plants of bush honeysuckle, vinka, periwinkle, English Ivy that have formed a dense mat.
