Summary: Russian Olives are an invasive species that are not native to Colorado. They inhibit the growth of native tree and shrub species by outcompeting them for water, sunlight and nutrients. Volunteers will be cutting down Russian Olives at an Open Space in the City of Brighton. This project combines both invasive species management and ecological restoration techniques along with some chainsaw work.
Description: Volunteers would use hand tools, such as loppers and hand saws, to trim the bottom 3-5ft of each tree and then Sawyers will come behind with a chainsaw to remove the tree. City of Brighton staff will then use a new herbicide application process called dabbing to treat the stump and eliminate future growth.
