INVASIVENESS AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT THEM

Sunday, May 7 2023 10-12 pm

Meet at the Beach Drive, Lakeshore Drive corner by the entrance to the beach and walk the Wetlands area plus the perimeter of the lake to Aspen Road.

We will learn to identify and remove Invasive vegetation, talk about safety around the removal and how to persist in the work to keep our shores clear and healthy. Take this work home to your properties and make the neighborhood a habitat for native plants and insects. The walk will be followed by a removal date on May 20 to put our skills to good use.

Mike Bald will be leading the walk.
