Foulkeways Forest Restoration Project

We are happy to share that Foulkeways will embark on a multi-year Forest Restoration Project to remove non-native invasive plants, trees, and shrubs within the community.

The Foulkeways community is committed to developing and maintaining healthy trees and supporting a thriving forest for our residents today and in the future. We have been gathering information to address concerns about campus trees and landscape. The understory of invasive species has wreaked havoc within the community. The tree down on the Maris Trail photos below show an example of the damage from invasives. 

Tree Down on the Maris Trail

The residents of Foulkeways value being a part of a healthy community.  This community includes our animals, especially the bugs, birds, and other creatures that carry the good stuff around. This problem is separate from the losses caused by the emerald Ash Borer and Oak leaf Scorch.  The invasives are from a mono-culture that deprives the trees of water and nutrients, prevents sunlight from reaching the forest floor, and also prevents succession growth of the existing species.
