Stay Home Garlic Mustard Pull - The Little Forks Conservancy: April 24th - May 31st
CMCISMA has partnered with The Little Forks Conservancy to bring you the Stay Home Garlic Mustard Pull! Garlic mustard is an invasive species in our area. The plant produces large amounts of seeds and can spread rapidly, allowing it to outcompete native plants in the area. We are encouraging people to remove the invasive species from their properties this spring. The challenge continues through May 31st. However, you should always be on the lookout for invasive species in your area! We are trying to spread the word and get as many people as possible involved. You can help by passing this information on to anyone who may be interested.
