He thought <br />that this would be an opportunity for the two Boards to openly discuss mutual interests and to <br />look further into projects that could be done together. He advised that with the Sunfish Lake <br />Park, as an example, would have an opportunity to conduct an ecological restoration with the <br />Boards and interested residents. He advised that there may be a lot of residents that would be <br />willing to help out and there are also a lot of non-native plants in that space that could be <br />removed. He advised that they could first host all educational workshop and follow that up with <br />an activity day in the park. <br /> <br />Board Member Ma.'\: stated that a lot of folks see green as being important and do not understand <br />. that by removing buckthorn they are doing something good. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood advised that an example of that would be the Villages of Sunfish <br />Lake development site. He explained that the existing residents had not wanted-to remove the <br />Siberian Elm and so there is now an abundance of those invasive trees in that area.- <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/August 14, 2008 <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />
