Conservation Activity – East Rock Garlic Mustard Pull
April 24, 2016 @ 10:00 am
Take part in a crucial conservation project. Help remove garlic mustard from East Rock Park, an Important Bird Area that’s a vital migratory bird stopover and breeding habitat. This invasive plant is a pernicious, prolific pest that can overrun forested areas, squeeze out native spring flowers, kill butterfly cater- pillars, and alter the habitat of our native birds. In 3 years, we’ve already made a significant improvement at this site! Long pants and sleeves are recommended. Bring work gloves if you have them. Meet at Eli Whitney Museum, 915 Whitney Ave., Hamden. Leader: Winie Wirth: 203-859-2971 or wirthwitte@att.net
