Pulling ivy

The Ivy in Stern Grove is out of control!  It has grown beyond limits and literally is swallowing the trees, pathways and everything is under. I worked on a project removing Ivy from the main entrance to the park on 19th and Sloat, all the way down to  Trocadero. There are hundreds of trees that are covered by Ivy, most of them are eucalyptus, redwood trees and pines.
I unburied  stone walls and steps made in the original plan, great architectural work that was disappeared.
This effort requires a troop effort, plus spraying for the final eradication of this weed.   The blackberry is another plant grown out of balance, it also requires major control.
