Meet at 10 a.m. in the covered picnic shelter in <br /> I <br /> Hendricks Park. <br /> Members of Eugene's National Guard will continue the work on Friday, July 13 <br /> beginning at 9:00 a.m. as they volunteer their energies to the cause. This is the second time this <br /> year, the group has helped in removing ivy from the park. <br /> When the ivy climbs uprights, it can produce seeds. Growing by rooting runners along <br /> the ground, it smothers low growing plants. Hendricks Park has achieved worldwide recognition <br /> for its large displays of rhododendrons and other plants and the ivy pull efforts hope to maintain <br /> that world class status. <br /> The park is accessible by car, bicycle or bus.
