About the Woodland Restoration Project
The Coralville Woodland Restoration Project is a multi-step project that addresses non-native invasive species and non-native tree growth in targeted areas of Coralville forests, and manages these forested stands in a way that encourages native tree populations for future generations to enjoy.
This project focuses on the understory growth in the forested stands by removing and treating invasive species such as honeysuckle, oriental bittersweet, multiflora rose, burning bush, wild barberry, buckthorn, and other non-native invasive trees and bushes. The goal is to greatly reduce these populations and treat for regrowth so that Coralville forestry staff can manage the forested areas, and the public can access and enjoy the areas.
