At last month’s General meeting we had a terrific presentation from Caroline Haynes, President of the Arlington Regional Master Naturalists (ARMN) on our Alien Invaders: the ecological problems and threats posed to the mature trees in our neighborhood caused by invasive vines and invasive plants.

We have in Lyon Village, a neighbor who is a volunteer and member of the County's RIP (Remove Invasive Plants) program. Carlos Stern has managed a number of clean-up projects in the area, including area parks.  If you have trees you want to save from invasive vines, contact Carlos Stern who has generously offered to help remove these offenders at email carlosstern@verizon.net or (703)522 2110.
