Activities

Pick your own patch to work on at Little Brook Natural Area! If you want to go easy, we have a couple spots of herb robert, some of it returning. After clearing, a good, thick mulching would be beneficial to keep it at bay. If you want to go for a little more exercise, we have a few spots of ivy yet to be tackled. And if you really want to go for the gusto, we have blackberry that need to come out by their roots, not to mention a few invasive trees that need to be dug out. For the bonus, if native plants arrive, some planting can be done as well. A quick orientation to weed identification, techniques, and tool safety will be provided at the start of the work party. If raining heavily, event will be rescheduled.
