Some good sources of info on invasive plants for discussion at today's Invasive Species Volunteer Day. We are still on despite the drizzle, but we may stop early if the rain picks up.

Thank you to all who came out to make Valley Pride Day in Bartlett such a success! We had 14 volunteers (plus a separate group in Intervale), and we collected about 30 bags of trash. Colleen and her 8-year-old son picked up 700 cigarette butts! Spread the word to your friends who smoke: CIGARETTE BUTTS ARE TRASH, too! Please don't throw them on the ground.

Plus, a very special thanks👏to the our chair Chris Fithian and the AMC for lending us their truck to pick up the trash bags!! https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianMountainClub

How lucky are we that we get to live next to the WMNF?

This beautiful photo was taken by a employee during a routine site visit. The beaver wetland is the result of damming up old bridges/culverts along the road, allowing only a trickle of water to get through. The plant in the foreground is Joe-pye w**d (Eutrochium ssp) and is a native plant loved by pollinators including monarchs, swallowtails and many different bee species.
