Hello, Green Space Friends!
Come celebrate the summer solstice with us at our Native Plant Identification Workshop at St. Paul's Episcopal, Romeo green space on Saturday, June 20th at 10 a.m.
Amanda Ruffini from Lake St Clair CISMA will help us learn about the ecosystems that once existed there, identify the plants growing there now and begin a biological assessment that will form the foundation of our long-term management plan. We’ll do some learning inside the church, then head out for field work and mapping. As always, we will have coffee and snacks for everyone and look forward to seeing you!
When you visit the green space now, you see a broad expanse of mowed grass and dense woods where we (and the goats!) cleared out invasive woody plants and herbaceous weeds at our earlier workdays. But what was this land like before, before there was a church or orchards or subdivisions? And how will that inform the way we manage the land in the future?
Please visit our blog post - A Short History of the Green Space at St. Paul's (www.greenspaceromeo.org/2026/06/15/4396/) - for more history and maps. After you've had a taste of the past of St. Paul’s green space, we hope you are as excited as we are to build a vision for its future.
See you Saturday!
