On June 30, 9 to 11, from 9:00 to 11:00, five volunteers continued the work on Paterson Street, adding to the mountains of brush and bags of black swallow wort already awaiting pick-up.

Two volunteers also learned enough to remove invasive species in their own yards:

- Shirley brought along a vine from her garden and asked whether it was black swallow wort, because it was climbing the fence and the shrubs and trees and seemed invasive. We identified it as Asian Bittersweet, an invasive plant that grows all over the East Side, and now she can remove it with confidence.

- Sally went home after our last work session and identified black swallow wort in her neighborhood, which she removed.
