It''s time to Take Back the Forest at Mason District Park! Did you know that the plant garlic mustard was brought here by colonists as a cheap substitute for garlic? Unforunately it escaped cultivation and is now taking over our natural areas! It is really easy to pull, and you''ll get the satisfaction of helping out Virginia''s native plants! All volunteers will receive a FREE Take Back the Forest t-shirt!
