East Rock Park – Garlic Mustard Pull
May 3, 2014 @ 11:30 am
Dan’s bird walk will end around 11:30, and after a lunch break, we will get to work pulling garlic mustard in a heavily infested area of the park. This invasive plant is a pernicious, prolific pest that can overrun forested areas, squeeze out native spring flowers, kill butterfly caterpillars, and alter the habitat of our native birds. The rampant growth can be daunting, but with many hands and an organized approach, we can help reclaim the park. Long pants and sleeves are recommended. Bring work gloves if you have them. After the bird walk, meet at the Eli Whitney Museum. Contact: Craig Repasz: 203-230-1697 or crepasz@hotmail.com
