Garlic Mustard

There is a Garlic Mustard pull scheduled for this Saturday, May 14th from 10am to Noon at the Cascade Peace Park.  Meet at the Grand River entrance to the park at10am.  What is Garlic Mustard?  Here is the definition from the Mighigan State University Extension Website:
     Garlic mustard is an exotic invasive plant from Europe that invades woodland habitats in North America and impacts forest biodiversity. In some woodlands, dense stands of garlic mustard in the spring threaten showy spring blooming ephemerals like spring beauty, trilliums and trout lilies. Other research points toward potentially negative impacts on timber species and forest health. Many land managers consider it to be one of the most potentially harmful and difficult to control invasive plants in the region.

If someone will volunteer to be the 'team-leader', there is an opportunity to remove Garlic Mustard from the Burton Park.  I heard from Mr. & Mrs. Kramer (neighbors to the park) today; they filled four garbage bags with Garlic Mustard from Burton Park today.  but there is more there.  Any takers?  Call me (949-1500) to set up a pull.

Thanks!!!
