| Nature
Walk and Invasive Plant Removal |
|
|
|
|
Foundation Trustee and ecologist, Jim Erckmann will
lead a small group for a nature walk combined with a little invasive
plant control. We will talk about the park’s natural history
and girdle scattered laurel and holly trees in the middle of the
park. The girdling will take very little effort, so we will mostly
focus on park ecology and discuss why controlling invasive plants
is important and why this park is a great example of older lowland
forest. |
