RULES OF ENGAGEMENT In the Great Roanoke Park Honeysuckle War
Groups regularly meet Saturday mornings to engage in organized bushwhacking, from 8 or 9 am to lunch.
Please know however, the Honeysuckle fight is NOT an invitational event:
Restless citizens may engage at will going alone or meet a couple of pals for bushwhacking therapy in Roanoke Park. (If you're using a chain-saw, please have a buddy for safety.)
Bush whackers get bragging rights to the beauty they create.
Seeking heavy-handed pruning skills for initial contacts with honeysuckle.
Herbicide applicators (with gloves) need to follow closely behind.
Contact Kite Singleton or Scott Burnett for Tordon herbicide which needs to be applied to fresh cuts within minutes. (Information about the Tordon herbicide.)
Brush pullers to drag the cut brush close to the curb for pick up by parks department.
Sharp-eyed clean up specialists armed only with a trash bag. Along your walks pick up some now visible trash within the newly trimmed zones.
