Help us Remove Invasive Plants & Plant Natives!

"In 2023, the Native and Non-Native Invasives Committee began a multi-month project to protect native plants and wildlife at Burnt Mills East Special Park. Team members pull non-native invasives, such as honeysuckle, oriental bittersweet, and wineberry, in order to let native plants thrive. If you are interested in joining this action team, please contact Kristin Backert.

On 07/08/23, our Native/Invasives Plant Committee began a long-term project at Burnt Mills East Special Park and pulled oriental bittersweet.
