Describe your project site.
Pioneer Park is a park in the San Marin area. The tree-lined grounds include paved walking paths, a large renovated children’s playground area with an updated play structure, picnic tables, a covered BBQ area, and plenty of open lawn for throwing frisbees or a lively game of catch.
Describe the human impact(s) that you have found online information about.
Human impacts include the building of a park, and the hill graveyard which has many pioneer founders of the city buried on it. A non-human impact here is a very invasive species coating the bank of the creek there, English Ivy. English Ivy is an extremely invasive species that spreads quickly and chokes out native species.
Describe possible solutions to mitigate the human impacts at your site.
Removing the ivy could be a great boost to the diversity of wildlife. By removing this invader and planting native plants, we could make more food sources and habitats for wildlife.

UPDATE:
1. What is specific evidence of an impact at your site?
There is an ivy growing along the bank of the creek in a very thick patch.
2. How has this impact reduced the carrying capacity and biodiversity of native species?
This ivy is very invasive, and is choking out the native plants, creating less space for native animals.
3. How does your solution mitigate this impact?
Our solution removes the invader, and plants native plants to create more shelters for animals.
