Invasive Species Friday! Today's villain: Multiflora Rose. Introduced in 1866 this once popular plant has overstayed its welcome. Its growth speed and density creates impenetrable thickets and chokes out native plants.

HAPPY ARBOR DAY!!
As a park system Arbor Day is a pretty big deal to us! So we asked our resident tree experts one of the hardest questions they'll ever face:
"What's your favorite tree?"

Happy #EarthDay! 🌳🌍

Yesterday, team members volunteered at MLK Jr. Park in Buffalo as part of our annual tradition of working with @bfloparks. The day was spent removing invasive species, uprooting invasive trees and cleaning up trash in the park and surrounding areas.
