Activities

Buttercups pretty to look at but giving our baby rhodies a hard time! Help us remove the last of the buttercup carpet at the 104th street entry of Beaver Pond Natural Area, followed by mulching to help keep it from getting a foothold again. If we get finished with that, there is some easy maintenance weeding around new natives planted last fall by 105th Street. OR we may break into two teams if we get enough volunteers, and then you can pick your preferred weeding pastime.
