Jim and I started the morning with a brief trek to the Trail of Cedars where Parks cut a fallen Lombardy poplar. The first photo is on the south side and the second is of the north side. We speculated that the fall damaged the evergreen, although it's also been deliberately limbed by someone.
When in arrived at the Southern Forest, we were joined by Braden (with Frances) and shortly thereafter, by Gary. I brought cardboard the the guys began by dismantling the compost we started two years ago.
The above area is where I had tried as thoroughly as I could to remove Herb Robert and creeping buttercup. Below is how it looked after spreading some mulch.

After finishing the mulching project and after Braden & Frances left, I continued to find more Herb Robert in the area. But Jim and Gary went toward the wetland, lopping blackberry canes and finding smaller holly and laurel. Somewhere in the photo below is Gary.
When we were finished and walking out of the park, Gary noticed that someone had tossed a Christmas tree near the street. He stayed behind to chop it into pieces.
