The Reed Creek Greenway is heavily used by Montford residents of all ages, its visitors, and the Asheville community at large. The MNA was an active contributor in building the greenway and continues to act as stewards. We consider it a true asset to our neighborhood.
Unfortunately, kudzu and other invasive plants have become rampant along the greenway, threatening many valuable trees by shading out native species and decreasing biodiversity. As well, the unchecked kudzu growth along the greenway threatens the health, safety, and welfare of the greenway users. Not only is it unattractive, but the dense overgrowth may conceal inappropriate activities and has become a haven for overnight “camping.”
Hence, we are entering into year 3 of our kudzu eradication effort and we need your help! We would like to plow one more time before planting the native grass meadow.
Please contribute today! And watch for our progress as you walk the Reed Creek Greenway.
