Y Parks 8c 7 5 Recreat Y ou may have heard the buzzing of chainsaws at some of our Open Space properties recently. Staff is cutting down Russian olive trees, a State listed noxious weed. These trees, originally brought here in the early 20th century to act as windbreaks, have now spread across our landscape. Rus- sian olives out compete and displace native trees and shrubs, provide very poor habitat for wildlife, absorb water from irrigation ditches, and in some cases can prevent recreationists from accessing native environments. You too can help our environment by removing Russian olives on your property. Replacing them with more desirable trees and shrubs will not only prevent the spread of Rus- sian olive seeds, but also attract more birds to your yard. For more information and recommendations on how to properly control Russian olives please contact Jim Krick, Open Space Technician, at 303.335.4742 or at JimK @LouisvilleCO.gov.
