      <title>Ivy Intervention PPP Restoration Work Day (2026-09-27)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Volunteers are needed to help continue the ongoing weeding &amp;amp; restoration of Patterson Point Preserve. &lt;strong&gt;Come pull baby ivy from the newest restoration area. This is a great time of year to make sure they don't have the chance to crowd out the native plants.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Please help us spread the word – bring a friend or neighbor!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Contribute however much time you can and learn more about PPP.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wear sturdy clothes and bring gloves and water.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Rainy days will be rescheduled if needed. If you have questions, please email&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:pattersonpointpreserve@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;pattersonpointpreserve@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://villagrande.org/restoration" target="_blank"&gt;Restoration&lt;/a&gt; priorities include removal of invasive species; limiting flood erosion in swale (planting sedge); improving the habitat for native birds, mammals and insects; encouraging appropriate understory plants; ensuring the long-term health of our significant trees and minimizing the impact of our human visitors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
