Planting + tending at the William H. Houlton Conservation Area

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River

Houlton

Join Friends of the Mississippi River staff and volunteers on June 11, 9-11 am for a morning furthering restoration work at the William H. Houlton Conservation Area (or Houlton Farm).

FMR staff and ecologists will provide a brief introduction to the site and an overview of how to identify and pull garlic mustard and proper planting techniques. By removing garlic mustard we will be making way for important native plants. We'll help further the restoration process by planting native plants into areas previously cleared of garlic mustard. These native plants, in turn, will provide habitat for wildlife. Over our time working at the site we've seen an increase in bees, butterflies, and small reptiles.

All are welcome, and as always, all training, gloves, and necessary tools will be provided. However, registration is required and capacity is limited. Learn more and register at https://fmr.org/events/2022/06/11/planting-tending-william-h-houlton-conservation-area
