The next step for this project is to go through the site for maintainance - checking for and removing any invasives that may have crept in , adding additional mulch between all these new plants. If we get through this task, we will move to another section of this restoration area.ALSO:A small number of volunteers are needed to assist on our first Spring tidy up session of the Butterfly Garden in anticipation of the Forest Fairy Gathering on May 9th. We'll focus on clearing the paths so people can walk through the garden as well as away from the fence so the staff parking area isn’t obstructed.
