Progress on Privet

Ironically, saw blades are saving Overton Park forest. Thanks to the Commercial Appeal for today’s front-page article about our aggressive privet removal project. We plan to continue the war on privet with our excellent contractor, Echo Systems, for the next three weeks as weather permits. We can’t risk damaging native plants in the growing season, but privet removal will resume again in late fall of 2012.
