Wildflower Walk and Mustard Pull

We’re doing something a little different for this month’s buckthorn removal day. With everything budding out right now, it can be a little difficult to tell buckthorn from some of the other tree and plant species out there. But mustard garlic is easy to spot! We are excited to have Larissa Mottl, from Stantec, the project coordinator for the buckthorn removal project in Sunfish Lake Park, who will lead a wildflower walk so hikers can see where native forbs are returning after so many years of being choked out by buckthorn. Along the way, we’ll clean up some other invasives: garlic mustard. The work is pretty easy, and we have gloves for you–ticks are pretty bad right now, so be sure you use your preferred method for protecting yourself.
