Clearing honeysuckle helps promote safety by improving site lines, opening up trail heads and trail intersections, and allowing light into the trail corridor. Removal of this invasive species is an important first step in improving the quality of the trail surface as we work to improve drainage throughout the park.
Mount Airy Forest Advisory Committee (MAFAC: Cincinnati Parks Advisory Council or CPAC), is working closely with Cincinnati Parks Conservation & Land Management Team on forest restoration on the western half of Mt. Airy Forest.
FOCUS: We will be tackling different invasive plants depending upon the season. This may include: - Breaking down honeysuckle with loppers and handsaws* - Cutting out small sections of vines on trees with handsaws* - Removing and bagging garlic mustard or Japanese stiltgrass. *Trained Service People (TSP) will apply herbicide to cut stumps.
