Why Walker Preserve?
Walker Preserve is a community treasure that needs your help. Help remove English Ivy – an invasive species – and restore native trees & shrubs. If left unchecked, English Ivy can:
- Outcompete native trees and shrubs;
- Reduce plant diversity and attract pests; and
- Destroy the vibrant urban forest along Walker Creek
