Naturespaces and the Adopt-A-Park program seek volunteers from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday to pull invasive English ivy in Behrens Woods Urban Nature Area, 3005 S.E. Bella Vista Place, Vancouver. Remove ivy on and around trees to minimize impacts to forest health. The event will happen rain or shine. Training, gloves, tools and snacks will be provided. Ivy pulling will be off established trails, and the terrain will be uneven and slightly sloped. Activities will include cutting ivy off tree trunks, bending to pull ivy free from the soil and shoveling and spreading bark mulch. Participants will also hear more about Naturespaces and Adopt-a-Park programs and learn about native plants and birds.
