I went to Deep Woods today for an Environmental Science service-learning project. Our job was to remove ivy and Blackberry bushes from the area because the invasive species are taking over. Before we began removing ivy and blackberry bushes I noticed a few things that I found interesting. The first was a tree that was open and was missing the whole inside. This was not the only thing interesting about this tree. Where the bark was missing, it was a blood red color underneath. This was so weird, and it looked almost like the tree was bleeding. The next thing I saw were snowberries. They are little white berries that are very cute. But I am unsure of whether or not they are edible. Looking around, the invasive species are completely taking over. They spread for hundreds of feet wherever other plants are not, or where they are they just take over them. It is now time to begin the project.
