Decorative Holly Bundling for the Annual Giveaway

BI Park and Recreation District is cutting down a nicely-berried holly tree at the wooded area by Owen’s Playground and the Rotary Park ballfield. This will improve three major community resources: 1) The park itself, which will be liberated from a seed-producing invasive holly tree; 2) The free, bundled holly bunches will come with a label explaining why holly is bad, how to dispose of it, and what to plant instead; and 3) Attract shoppers to the Waterfront Thrift Store Holiday Sale at the BI Senior Community Center. This annual sale is an important source of funding for the BI Senior Center, an amazingly important resource for people of all ages.
