Kudzu ID Locations

by

Kudzu – our neighborhood is not immune from the invasive Kudzu. A Lakemoor Hills Kudzu committee has been formed to address this threat to our properties and property value.
We are currently identifying the Kudzu locations in our peninsula. Below is a list of locations. If you are aware of any locations not listed below please respond to this post and provide the location (address and brief description)
Kudzu Locations
1. Montlake between the Church and Tall Pines – both sides
2. 3616 Blow Drive – across the street from that address in a tree
3. Montlake entrance – no action will be taken at this time until we see what the Alcoa construction brings us.
4. Maloney entrance – UT property

Thank you

Kudzu Task Force Update and Review

by

The Kudzu Task Force is currently in a discovery mode to determine what we can do to curtail the invasion of Kudzu in our peninsula.

The next step is a representative from V&V Land Management & Resource Recovery LLC will be coming out to review the Kudzu issue within Lakemoor Hills.  Anyone interested in attending is welcome.  Our task force will be meeting at the church parking lot (at the Montlake entrance) Monday April 11, 2016 at 2:00pm.  This location will allow us to park safely and walk down Montlake to review some of the bad areas.  We may also travel to other areas.

V&V has performed landscape clearing services to a resident in our community along with proposing Kudzu removal at another resident.

If you have any questions or want to join the Kudzu Task Force please contact Randy Kerns 937-694-5626  [email protected]

Thank you

Update on the Dogwood Trail Debris Pickup

by

There has been a lot of questions and concern about the debris pickup.  We now have more details on the process as follows:

  1. Pickups will only occur on the designated Dogwood Trail roads. That means if you live on a road without a Pink Line there will not be a pickup.  Please do not place and leave debris on non-designated Dogwood Trail roadsides or vacant lots.
  2.  The pickups will occur between April 1st and April 15th. There will “probably” be 2 pickups.  Sorry they do not completely commit to that.
  3.  Debris needed to be on the roadside before April 1st.
  4.  Both sides of the street will not necessarily be picked up at the same time.
  5.  The Dogwood Trail doesn’t officially open until April 15th. Please be patient they will get to your debris
  6.  Please bear-in-mind that this is a free service from the county.

Next year we will compile all the details concerning this process and post it in advance.

Thank you

Kudzu & non-native invasive plants eradication

by

Like most of the Southeast of the country our beautiful peninsula is being invaded by Kudzu and other non-native invasive plants.  It is time to take action.  We need to understand eradication techniques (primarily Kudzu) and work as a community to accomplish this.  There will be a presentation by Mr. Neal Benton, Invasive Plants expert UT AG Extension, at the Church Parlor Tuesday September 29th at 6:30pm (enter through the middle door of the church).  There will be a sign at the door guiding you.

Mr. Benton will present for 20 minutes then take questions.

If you would like to join the Kudzu Task Force or you have any questions please call me, Randy Kerns (937)694-5627

Thank you for your support
