Weekly Wetland and Forest Restoration EventMay 24, 10am-2pm @ Atlantic City Nursery Join our weekly restoration stewardship work party. The work varies and is always interesting. We might be working in the native plant nursery, propagating or caring for the many native species we are raising. Or we might be working on some of the more difficult weeds, like Yellow Flag Iris, or Japanese Knotweed. Or we might be doing species surveys, monitoring or getting our experimental beds ready for fall planting. Whatever we do, we try to make it educational and fun, mixing laughter with our botany. more |
