Activities

We are getting tired of pulling out “Herb Robert” so we are trying out a new approach. Join us in moving multitudes of mulch to a foot deep in an effort to smother out this stinky invasive. This will also help rebuild the soils. PLUS, any sneaky blackberries found among these weedy patches will be dug out. If raining heavily, the work party will be rescheduled.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Tools, buckets, wheelbarrows, mulch and supplies provided. Bring yourself in sturdy shoes, long slacks, and long sleeves appropriate for the weather. Please bring your own gloves but if you don’t have any, we have a few surplus on hand. You are welcome to bring your own tools, but please make sure you mark them so they go home with you. Water provided but bring your own snacks for this short work party if needed.
