Ranger

I came upon a ranger training a volunteer to cut invasive species. Sumac trees had vines trying to take them over, so they just clip them to thwart their attempted takeover. The reeds are invasive! It's about supporting the trees. I asked if they did the burn a few years back and she said you can’t do that in the city. 

Got a link for the stewardship program. And there's a super stewardship program.

I read the paque about Queens Valley Park and they talk about Kew Garden Hills being called Hopedale, and that Vleigh was the road to Brooklyn. Forest Hills was called Whitepot.
