Attention, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and all nature enthusiasts! We need you to roll up your sleeves and drop an elbow from the top ring on invasive vines choking some of our favorite trees. Unleash your inner wrestling superstar and join preserve manager Ben Kleist in the ring of environmental stewardship to battle the forces threatening this beloved preserve. In all seriousness, vine cutting is one of our most popular stewardship volunteer activities because it is so gratifying to free trees from their stranglehold.
