Enjoy a Walk in the Roberts Bird Sanctuary - April & May
Help Pull Garlic Mustard to Protect Our Natural Areas!
Garlic mustard out-competes tree seedlings and other native vegetation with adverse effects on the few remaining natural areas in our Park system, including the Roberts Bird Sanctuary and William Berry Woods. Help us repeat last year's success in eliminating flowering plants at both sites, to help slow the spread of this invasive plant.
Bags are provided, but bring your own gloves. Look for signs leading to the pull sites at the visitors shelter at Roberts and at the picnic table at William Berry Woods.
