We’ve had a busy August at Leaside Park! We planted over 50 native plants, removed invasive species, including dog strangling vine, buckthorn, burdock, and crowned vetch. We also collected bags and bags of litter and pulled out bikes, canes, and other discarded items. The park is edge is in bloom with false sunflowers, goldenrods, asters, vervains, and more.

Looking forward to continuing this good work in September. With sunsetting earlier we will shift our Tuesday evening start time a half earlier to 5 PM. Please join us! We meet by the playground.

At this week’s stewardship session we removed several bags of dog strangling vine. We also moved two large tree branches out to of native plant gardens We broke down the branches into smaller pieces and slide them out a natural garden border. We finished with a group walk through the woods behind Milepost. A nice night.
