Volunteer day: Purple loosestrife
This afternoon will be dedicated to removing purple loosestrife from the land! There is some growing in different corners and we’re wanting to ensure that native plant species don’t get crowded out. Grab your own gloves and clippers (and maybe even garbage bags and forks) and come pull with us. We’ll also do some garlic harvesting and hanging if it’s ready! RSVP at biblioterre@proton.me to let us know you’re coming.

Intro to Wildlife Tracking

stretching our awareness and perception
building familiarity with animal families and local ecology
