South River City Citizens

2007 Neighborhood Beautification Grant Recipient

The South River City Citizens have worked with several partners over the past two years to remove invasive plants, particularly ligustrum and nandina, from Big/Little Stacy Park and Blunn Creek Preserve.  Remaining invasive plants are very large and will be removed by American Youthworks.  The Neighborhood Beautification Grant will be used to rent a chipper to turn the removed invasive trees into mulch which will then be used in the park, and to buy inland sea oats seed (a native riparian grass) which will re-seed the area.
