Invasives are becoming an increasing problem all over the state, and Blue Hill Mountain is no exception to this issue. Recently, more and more community members are also noticing this issue. We've seen an increase in bittersweet along the trails, woods, and fields. Blue Hill Heritage Trust is in the process of formulating a plan for dealing with invasives across the peninsula. But, while we work on a multi-year plan, we need your help with trimming back bittersweet. 
  
The volunteer activity will be cutting bittersweet by hand, and working in small groups on different sections of the mountain (field, trail, etc.).
They will meet at the Blue Hill Mountain Hayes Trail parking lot (the big one) on top of the hill, trying to start right on time at 1 pm. Folks are welcome to come and join us later if they can't be there at 1 pm (Look for us in the field and on the trail). Please bring plenty of water, hand clippers, loppers (or both), boots or closed-toe shoes (recommended), and work gloves. Blue Hill Heritage Trust will have extra tools for folks who need some (we have spare gloves if you don’t have any), as well as extra drinks and snacks.
 
For this day specifically, RSVP is not required, but it's highly recommended. Please, if you can, shoot me an email if you're interested in attending, so we can get a sense of participation numbers for the day.
