Invasive plants are killing our trees and altering our local ecosystem.
Take action! Remove invasive species in your own yard.
Talk to your neighbors and your civic league.
Volunteer for a few hours with the Coastal Invasive Removal Team (CIRT)— It’s easy and fun to save our trees by taking off the ivy — and we will teach you how!
If you have ivy on your property, use the CIRT form here to request that our volunteer team remove it.The CIRT page has resources to help you recognize invasives, learn to safely remove ivy yourself, request work on your property or that of an organization, and volunteer for local events.CIRT members are also happy to come and discuss this with your civic league or other community group.
