Let’s take a few hours on Mother’s Day to celebrate our common matriarch, Mother Earth! Everyone is welcome to help us protect unique and rare plant populations in Grills Preserve from invasive plants like garlic mustard, Japanese honeysuckle, and round leaf bittersweet.
We will take a 1.5-mile hike to a small, rocky hilltop to hand-pull invasive plants before they outcompete some unique early-season perennial wildflowers. On our walk back to the trailhead, we might stop by a few small meadows and cut back woody growth while looking for signs of other important native wildflowers.
Come prepared for a couple of hours in the woods with weather-appropriate clothing, work gloves, loppers, tick and sun protection, and water.
Email WLT’s Land Stewardship Manager, Marc, at [email protected] with any questions.
Thank you for helping steward our lands, and don’t forget to bring your mother!
