Planned Activities
One thrilling day to destroy the invasive plants of the nasty Autumn Olive and super powered Bush Honeysuckle. For our younger destroyers of invasive plants we will direct you to the ever spreading Garlic Mustard plant. This might not sound like the most interesting of battles, but these invaders are destroying our natural habits and encroaching on the battlefield itself. We will stop for a pizza lunch at high noon before going back to round up some more of those nasty invaders.
For those who might have a harder time fighting off the invasive species, we would love to have some help giving the Anderson House a spring cleaning. Battling dust bunnies' to win the battle.
