Mill Pasture Preserve Invasive Plant Removal

GLCT director and Property Steward Melissa Robinson continues the effort to remove foreign invasive plants from the Mill Pasture property, and will be targeting both Knotweed and Asiatic Honeysuckle at this work party. If you’d like to help, please bring along heavy garden tools, such as loppers and hand saws, and please dress with long pants, heavy boots, long sleeves and gloves … there’s lots of poison ivy. We expect to be using herbicide topically (no spraying), and will have applicators for people to use. We’ll be giving instructions on the safe use of herbicides for everyone who needs training. Please join us if you can. This property is located on the corner of Rt. 1 and Long Hill Road, with access and parking on Mill Road with parking also along the side of the road across from the Tile Shop and the VFW. [est 2 – 3 hours]

Heavy rain will usually cancel any of these work parties, so if you have questions about the schedule, please feel free to contact me stewardship@guilfordlandtrust.org or Paul Proulx pauljproulx@comcast.net on the morning of each event. We’ll also announce cancellations or schedule changes by email, so it’s a good idea to check your mail before you leave the house. Paul also carries his cell phone (203-687-7756) on these events, so if you’re late and want people to wait, give him a call.
