Volunteer: Removal of Invasives on Boggy Meadow Road
June 24, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Last year, we surveyed and located many patches of invasive plants along Boggy Meadow Road, which connects the former Moose Lodge parking lot at the end of Cooke Avenue with the Fitzgerald Lake dam. On a warm, Sunday morning in July, we worked our way along the road, removing a large mass of invasives by hand. However, since the “harvest” was greater than expected, we only managed to get halfway to the dam and we’re eager to get back to finish the job this year. Please join us. Tools will be provided, but if you care to bring clippers, opping shears and pruning saws, it would be a help. And don’t forget gloves, sunscreen and insect repellent. Meet at the former Moose Lodge parking lot. Contact: Bob Zimmermann at raz@umass.edu or 585-0405.
