A ‘weed smackdown’ at an Anchorage park is part of a long-running campaign to stop the spread of plants that are harming the natural ecosystem.
Volunteers work in Anchorage’s Tikishla Park on Aug. 19 to pull out invasive chokecherry trees, also known as European bird cherry trees. The volunteers were participating in a “weed smackdown” that was one in a series held to remove invasive plants.
Around 62 volunteers had registered for the event and all the trees they removed would be chopped up for mulch. This event isn’t the first or last of the cooperative’s events. A top priority is the removal of the European bird cherry, also known as the chokecherry. According to, the trees were introduced in the 1950s. The trees were ornamental and were hardy enough to survive in Alaska.
