With a participation of almost 90 at 4 different sites\, a great deal of honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii and L. japonica)\, winter creeper (Euonymus fortunei)\, English ivy (Hedera helix)\, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and other invasive plants were removed. It was amazing how much was done in just 3 hours\, and the partners were pleased with the effort: Ijams Nature Center; Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum; Lakeshore Park and Baker Creek Preserve (formerly the Wood Property)/Legacy Parks in South Knoxville. Members of the Tennessee Exotic Pest Plants Council and Invasive Plant Control Inc. were on hand to provide education\, and Ijams already has ordered native plants for areas where invasives have been removed. A result of the Weed Wrangle®-Knoxville was the creation of a tool bank at Ijams where community organizations can borrow the tools that were used in the Wrangle to remove invasive plants elsewhere in Knoxville. \n \nThe Knoxville Garden Club\, a member of the Garden Club of America\, is sponsoring Knoxville’s second annual Weed Wrangle®-Knoxville on March 4\, 2017 and invite the public to volunteer in the effort. Volunteers will gather from 9:00 am to noon at our partner sites; Ijams Nature Center\, Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum\, Bakers Creek Preserve\, Old Gray Cemetery and Lakeshore Park to help wrangle non-native invasive plants. \nWeed Wrangle® is a Garden Club of America Partners for Plants (P4P) project that was created by the Garden Club of Nashville. In an effort to further the Garden Club of America’s commitment to conservation throughout the state of Tennessee\, the Weed Wrangle® project has been adopted by the Garden Club of Lookout Mountain\, Memphis Garden Club\, the Little Garden Club of Memphis and the Knoxville Garden Club. \nSupervised by experts in invasive weed management from Invasive Plant Control and the Tennessee Exotic Pest Plant Council\, P4P members and community volunteers will learn about invasive pest plants\, locate and remove them. Typical unwelcome plants are honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica and L. mackii)\, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sins)\, winter creeper (Euonymus fortune) and English Ivy (Hedera helix). The goal is two-fold: restoration and preservation. Organizers seek to raise awareness of the “green scourge” before more of our native plants lose the fight for light and nutrients they require to survive. \nHOW YOU CAN HELP\nYou can also make a difference by removing any invasive plants that appear on your property; this prevents their inevitable spread to other yards and public spaces. Always try to landscape with native plants and avoid the purchase of potentially invasive species sold by some nurseries. A number of the traits that make plants highly desirable ornamentals also make them ideal weeds. The invasives which are being spotlighted for removal are: honeysuckle (Loniceri maackii and L. japonica)\, winter creeper (Euonymus fortunei) and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). Finally\, help us spread the word about the broadening fight against invasive plants.

The tract is on TVA land which\, prior to 1992\, had been designated (but not developed) for “industrial” use. It had received considerable abuse through extensive dumping\, and was rutted by off-road vehicle use. The area encompassing the cemetery\, however\, contains at least 14 plant species of interest\, and is home to several bird species (including red-shouldered hawk\, green-backed heron\, and hairy woodpecker)\, as well as frogs and lizards. \nIn the fall of 1992\, TCWP wrote to TVA recommending that the 29-acre tract be designated a TVA Natural Area. TCWP pointed out that\, when cleaned up\, the area would be suitable for short walks\, wildlife study\, and volunteer projects. The organization offered to make the area into an urban wildlife sanctuary\, and to develop an environmental-education-study program within it that would be available to students of Oak Ridge and Anderson County schools. \nAt the request of the Oak Ridge Planning Commission the land was rezoned from IND-1 (Industrial District) to G (Greenbelt District). In January 1993\, the City wrote to TVA encouraging the agency to reclassify the parcel to a TVA Natural Area. Following a June 1993 meeting between TVA and City staff\, TVA agreed to install a tamper-resistant gate and give the key to Worthington heirs. Signs prohibiting certain activities would be erected\, and it was determined that local ordinances were fully applicable and that City police could patrol the area. Later in 1993\, TVA and the City designated the tract as an Ecological Study Area. \nIn November 1993\, 50-60 energetic people collected 60 discarded tires and about 200 bags of trash from the area. In addition to TCWP members\, many of the volunteers were students from the High School Advanced Biology Class taught by TCWP Director Fred Holtzclaw and from two JJHS biology classes taught by Ms. Pat DeRoos. Councilman Jerry Kuhaida and several members of the Worthington family (much touched by the clean-up effort\, especially by the participation of so many young people) also participated. \nIn subsequent years\, TCWP has sponsored a number of nature study activities\, maintenance\, and trash pick-up. Boy and girl scouts constructed short trails and built bird-nesting boxes. Students from Oak Ridge schools and residents of The Rivers subdivision frequently visited the area. Starting in 1999\, TCWP has annually participated in Public Lands Day by making improvements at the Worthington Cemetery Ecological Study Area through the elimination of exotic species and improvements in trails. Descendants of the Worthington family\, who now live elsewhere\, have expressed their appreciation. \nFind Us on Facebook[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” thin_single_color=”#d4c2b0″ margin_top=”40″ margin_bottom=”40″][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”10″ css=”.vc_custom_1524783408032{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nClick Here for TNEPPC Educational Resources \nTennessee Urban Riparian Handbook: A Practical Guide to Establishing Health Streamside Buffers \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1524783347226{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nThe Weed Wrangle® started by The Garden Club of Nashville in 2015\, expanded to the Knoxville Garden Club\, Garden Club of Lookout Mountain\, Memphis Garden Club\, and The Little Garden Club of Memphis in 2016.

We will be concentrating on removing camphor. Bring shovels\, clippers\, loppers\, gloves\, your lunch and water. Walter Jones Historical Park\, 11964 Mandarin Road Jacksonville\, FL 32223 The park is located in the southern portion of Jacksonville\, Florida\, south of I-295. Exit 295 at San Jose Blvd.\, traveling south. Make a right turn at Mandarin Road (Tree Steak House). Proceed .8 mile to the park entrance\, which is on the right. \nWalter Jones Historical Park\nMajor William Webb purchased 31.2 acres on the St. Johns River in Mandarin in 1875. He built a home\, barn\, and 1\,000-foot dock extending into the St. Johns River. Major Webb cultivated oranges\, potatoes\, tomatoes\, cucumbers\, strawberries and beans. The farm produce was shipped north on steamships that regularly stopped in Mandarin. Walter Jones\, proprietor of the Mandarin Store and Post Office\, moved his family to the homestead in the early 1900s and his family members occupied the property until 1992. \nThe City of Jacksonville acquired 10 acres of Major Webb’s original homestead from the descendants of Walter Jones in 1994 for the purpose of creating the city’s first historical park. The Mandarin Museum & Historical Society operates the park facilities under a contract with the city. The park opened to the public in August 2000 and is today home to the Mandarin Museum\, the St. Joseph’s Mission Schoolhouse for African-American Children\, and other historical structures\, including the 1875 Webb Farmhouse\, the 1876 barn\, the Losco Winery\, and the Wheeler Sawmill. Following restoration\, the Webb Farmhouse opened for public tours in August 2002. The Mandarin Museum & Historical Society has furnished the house to reflect family life during the late 1890s and early 1900s. Mandarin now is a small section of the City of Jacksonville\, Florida\, but its natural beauty\, parks and historic buildings draw visitors from around the world.[/vc_column_text][mk_gallery images=”1186\,1187\,1188″][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” thin_single_color=”#d4c2b0″ margin_top=”40″ margin_bottom=”40″][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”10″ css=”.vc_custom_1524845463040{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nClick Here for TNEPPC Educational Resources \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”10″ css=”.vc_custom_1524849654112{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nThe Weed Wrangle® started by The Garden Club of Nashville in 2015\, expanded to the Knoxville Garden Club\, Garden Club of Lookout Mountain\, Memphis Garden Club\, and The Little Garden Club of Memphis in 2016.
