Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park - Clear out ligustrum!

If you are absolutely positive that you are insensitive to poison ivy and don't mind getting into it, please let us know when you sign in. I've found some ligustrum to remove where I had thought we could avoid the poison ivy, but in clearing a path to it last weekend I didn't manage to stay clear. We could use your help in that spot and any others where we might encounter it. (Change clothes before you cuddle up to the rest of us!) If you are extremely sensitive to poison ivy, I recommend that you cover up well and apply Poison Oak 'n' Ivy Armor (available over the counter) to any exposed skin as well as adjacent areas—for example, if you're wearing a long-sleeved shirt, cover your wrists and lower forearms as well as your hands. Cover below the top of the opening of your shirt, too. I am very sensitive to poison ivy. In the many times I have been back in this area, I have had problems only that one time, when I knowingly got close to it. So don't worry—but a little protection is better than 2 weeks of even a little bit of itching!
