Poison Ivy

Is there something that can be done about all the poison ivy growing along the bike path between Vestals Gap and Ellzey? It is growing into the grass. I see kids walking in it to pick honeysuckle as well as dogs and dog owners.

 

poison ivy is everywhere in the common areas, especially around the honeysuckle. We have to warn the kids about it all the time when they walk in the "woods".

 

Poison ivy is very common throughout Northern VA. Our landscaping contract does not include its removal from the common areas and to do so would be prohibitively expensive. The best prevention is to educate your families about this plant and other poisonous vines. Here's a helpful website http://poisonivy.aesir.com/view/welcome.html

I totally agree - you need to be educated about spotting poison ivy or oak. It's part of the charm of living in wooded areas......
