SUMMARY:Save the Bluebells: Garlic Mustard Pull (Start Date Postponed until March 19)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Garlic Mustard is an invasive species that began taking over Ball’s Bluff years ago. Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy mobilizes a crew in early spring to pull the invasive plant before it spreads further competing with the spring ephemerals that make the park so beautiful. Each invasive plant removed\, no matter how small\, makes an impact because the millions of seeds from the removed plants never get a chance to fall into the soil seed bank. Be part of this important habitat conservation project and sign up to be on a contacted each week with a reminder to attend the event. Registration required. You will be contacted each week to see if you can make it. \nQuestions: Contact BJ Lecrone at bjlecrone@loudounwildlife.org. \nFill out my LGL Form!\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
