How Do You Remove This Much Kudzu?

That will be just one of the questions addressed this evening at city hall from 6:30p-8p during the Decatur Cemetery Master Plan Meeting.
Here are the details…
Monday, August 25, 2008, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. This a workshop to discuss options for restoration of the 10-acre woodland area of the Cemetery property behind Glendale Avenue. Topics include removal of kudzu and other invasive plants, new plantings, stream bank protection and restoration, storm drainage, options for protecting and improving wildlife habitat.
There’s already been some vocal opposition for plans to include a mulch trail in the currently inaccessible 10 acres of woodland (see above pic) from adjacent Glendale residents. See the proposed path here.
David over at InDecatur did a great job of covering resident opposition to the mulch path at a meeting back in May. In summary, it sounds like Glendale residents would rather have overlooks instead of trails into the woods.
I know of two very cute guinea pigs at Glennwood Academy that love nothing better than kudzu and could make short work of that tiny little insignificant patch. Call or email Ms. Holden and ask that she put Choncho and Pooh Bear to work!!!!
Of, course someone will have to teach them to climb trees.
