Tackle ivy along the Skipanon
WARRENTON — Invasive English ivy has a
foothold along the Skipanon River in Warrenton,
where it climbs into Sitka spruces and other native
trees, causing them to rot and ultimately topple.
North Coast Land Conservancy is seeking vol-
unteers for a stewardship day, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 26, to tackle ivy in the conservan-
cy’s Skipanon Forest Habitat Reserve.
The spruce forest-and-swamp habitat type that
characterizes the property is considered globally
rare. The Land Conservancy scheduled this stew-
ardship day in the winter, when the deciduous veg-
etation has died back and it’s a little easier to move
around, but volunteers can still expect rough walk-
ing. Most of the ivy at Skipanon Forest is grow-
ing on large Sitka spruce trees, but there may be
some on the ground as well. Handsaws, loppers
and other tools will be used to remove this inva-
sive vine.
Email Stewardship Director Melissa Reich at
melissar@nclctrust.org or call her at 503-738-9126
if you plan to attend. She will provide directions to
the site (and will notify volunteers should inclem-
ent weather force a change of date). Wear gloves
and work boots. The Land Conservancy will sup-
ply the tools. Bring water and snacks/lunch; there
are no toilets and no potable water at the site. Dogs
are not allowed on any NCLC properties.
Details about this and other North Coast
Land Conservancy volunteer opportunities are at
NCLCtrust.org; look for Hands-on Stewardship
under “EVENTS.”
