Treating invasives such as Burning Bush, Asian Bush Honeysuckle, or Autumn Olive? Make sure to treat them with herbicides once cut to ensure they are fully eliminated! 🤠🌳

Yesterday we hosted a staff W**d Wrangle at Harmonie State Park to get rid of invasive species along the pond back by the nature center. The majority of the invasive species we removed were Autumn olive, Amur bush honeysuckle, and Multiflora rose. We weren’t able to get it all, but we sure did make a dent!
Thank you to Warrick, Pike, and Gibson county Soil & Water Conservation Districts for helping us tackle those invasives! 🌱🪵

❤❤❤
Today is a long-overdue recognition of the women of the countryside. For generations, they have quietly carried rural life on their shoulders: rising before dawn, tending gardens and animals, preserving the harvest, feeding families and holding communities together. Their work has rarely been celebrated, but it has never stopped. Today, we see you, and we thank you.
