Garlic Mustard Pull |
|
|
Join The Dahlem Conservancy as we work to eradicate one of the most prevalent invasive species of our area -- Garlic Mustard with a Garlic Mustard Pull on Sunday, May 2nd at 1:00 pm.
With the colonization of the new world by European settlers came a host of problems to a once pristine landscape inhabited by an abundance of diverse wildlife. Plants and animals were transported from the old world for a consistent and reliable food supply by settlers -- an innocent act that has wreaked havoc on natural ecosystems. Among the most devastating of these old world introductions has been the widespread Garlic Mustard. Join Dahlem as we participate in the state-wide Garlic Mustard Challenge in an attempt to “take back” our country’s native landscape.
To register for this event, please call (517) 782-3453.

Event Date(s) and Time(s): 5/2/2010
