Pictures from the 2010 Tree Planting

Friends of The Moshassuck has been planting trees at Collyer Field in Providence for over 10 years. The site is a field of invasive alien Japanese knotweed, and our planting is an effort to eliminate the invasive alien weed by growing big and tall trees to shade it out. Preliminary results suggest that the effort is starting to bear fruit, and under the earliest plantings (and biggest trees) the knotweed is showing the effects of shading. We believe this is a community-friendly, totally non-toxic, way to deal with one of the most invasive plants in Southern New England and would be happy to help any local organizations seeking to restore areas damaged by knotweed.
