Heigh Ho Heigh Ho...

aequitaslevitas and I will be heading off to work on the canal, with pole saws and pick axes...

There's a work day on the D&L at Parryville.

We're going to be convincing some Ailanthus altissima (Tree-of-HeavenHeck) that it's not welcome in these here parts, by, well, chopping off its hydra-like heads, and/or ripping its roots from the ground, and/or painting its stumps with glyphosate. I haven't worked with this crew before, so I'm not sure if they use all three methods, and, indeed, I'm not even sure we'll be sticking with the Tree-o-Stinkyness (no, seriously, "stinky sumac" is an alternate common name for this beast). I do know we'll be working in and around the canal itself, cleaning up one of the locks. I'll have the brush cutter and pole chainsaw on the truck just in case.
