TREES Inc. in partnership with Sycamore Trails RC&D, Terre Haute Parks and Recreation, and the Wabash Valley Audobon Society conducted an Asian Bush Honeysuckle Eradication Day at Dobbs Park on Saturday, March 19, 2011. The beautiful forest of this city park in particular, on the city's east side, has been overrun with this destructive invasive species. As one moves about the east side in general it's easy to get a sense of just how big a problem this is becoming.
Numerous events of this kind have taken place at Dobbs Park over recent years and visible results are showing but, there's a long way to go. Efforts must continue to solve a serious problem that threatens to destroy the beauty and draw of Dobbs Park.
