For some, it means berry season: picking along the path, making jam, eating a few on the way through. What\u2019s less obvious is that the same plant crowds out native species, narrows wildlife corridors, and changes how the understory grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past winter, two capstone students worked on adjacent plots along the trail. 足彩app哪个是正规的y asked different questions but used the same core methods: map the site, document what\u2019s there, and remove what they could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joel, a senior at the University of Washington, Seattle, majoring in Environmental Studies, focused on how people understand and talk about the plant while removing it. Ian, a senior at UW Bothell studying Conservation and Restoration Science with a minor in GIS, set out to measure what one person can realistically clear in 150 hours. Together, they left behind detailed site records that future interns can build on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog001-standard-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">足彩app哪个是正规的 Water Tower trail at Saint Edward State Park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog004-standard-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A section of the water tower trail that is filled with invasive Himalayan Blackberry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Into the thicket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Himalayan blackberry is hard to eliminate. Its roots spread horizontally, knot together, and regrow if any crown remains. Both students ran into this early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joel started with a survey of his plot, noting plant distribution and existing conditions before removing anything. Over roughly eight weeks, working about 10 hours a week, he cleared to a boundary of fallen logs. He expects that barrier to slow regrowth while native plants reestablish, though not stop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian planned a strip-by-strip removal. 足彩app哪个是正规的y mapped a 24\u2011meter section in ArcGIS Online, documented native species, and based their approach on King County guidance. In practice, the root systems made that approach too blunt. Pulling in strips disturbed nearby native plants as much as the blackberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Ian switched to a more targeted method: track each cane back to its crown, remove it, then follow connecting roots outward. It was slower but more selective. By the end of the quarter, Ian had fully cleared 9 meters and partially cleared another 6. 足彩app哪个是正规的 remaining section, along with detailed notes on methods, gaps, and adjustments, gives the next intern a clear place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both students also helped lead community work parties, including a session with Finn Hill Environmental Adventure School. For many of those students, it was the first time connecting classroom ideas to a working restoration site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog002-standard-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-blackberry-blog003-standard-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the work surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Joel, the project became less about the plant itself and more about how people respond to it. While working along the trail, he was often stopped by visitors who wanted to weigh in or ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those conversations matched something he had already encountered in coursework and CoSEE design principles: the limits of a simple native\/invasive split. That framing can carry assumptions about what belongs and what doesn\u2019t. Himalayan blackberry causes measurable ecological harm, but it also feeds birds and mammals, holds soil on disturbed slopes, and creates cover. Its spread is tied to land use and disturbance over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 internship didn\u2019t introduce that idea so much as test it. Repeated physical removal, paired with daily interactions with park visitors, made the tradeoffs harder to ignore. A survey of fellow interns reinforced how common it is to see the plant in strictly negative terms, even among people doing restoration work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHimalayan blackberry isn\u2019t inherently evil,\u201d Joel said. \u201cIt represents decades of land management decisions that made conditions right for it to spread.\u201d By the end of the quarter, Joel had produced a field guide focused on how to identify and work with the plant in context. He also left with a clearer approach to talking about invasive species without flattening the story. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 field of invasive species removal needs more nuance in how we explain what we\u2019re doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What stays after the quarter ends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both students leave behind more than cleared ground. Ian\u2019s documentation lays out what\u2019s been done, what methods held up, and where conditions shift across the site. That record matters as much as the meters cleared. It helps the next person avoid starting from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joel\u2019s contribution is less visible but still useful: a way of describing the work that acknowledges both harm and context, something that came out of doing the work day after day, not just studying it. 足彩app哪个是正规的 Finn Hill students who joined for a work party got a shorter version of both. 足彩app哪个是正规的y spent a few hours pulling blackberry and, just as important, heard why it\u2019s there and what removal changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along the Water Tower Trail, Himalayan blackberry offers an easy harvest but obscures harder truths.
