Project:  Identify and remove ladder trees and ground cover invasive species from the area around heritage trees (oaks and cedar elms).  Since the ladder trees are ash juniper, and Bull Creek Preserve is in the golden warbler habitat, would need to secure prior approval from Watershed Protection to remove them.  Drag slash to designated areas.
