Eric Mower & Associates
On Thursday, August 20th, Eric Mower and Associates participated in a volunteer project at Delaware Park's Rumsey Woods. Eric Mower and Associates is a marketing communications firm located in Buffalo, NY. The aim of this project was to remove invasive European Buckthorn and grape vines from the area allowing native species to repopulate instead. During the 3 hour volunteer project a large area in the woods was cleared of these species. For more information on Eric Mower and Associates visit www.mower.com
Day of Caring
On Wednesday, August 19th, HSBC bank in conjunction with the United Way and the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy took part in the National Day of Caring. Approximately 125 volunteers helped to remove hundreds of invasive European Buckthorn trees in South Park. European Buckthorn is a rapid growing plant that is not indigenous to this area and out competes native species for sunlight and nutrients in the soil. Here is a link to a write up from the Buffalo News on the event: http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/story/769304.html
