Please joinLyme Open Space Coordinator Wendolyn Hill to help clear invasive plants around the Lee Farm foundation. Learn to identify invasive plants to remove and native plants to preserve. Bring and work gloves, loppers, clippers, pruners, Mattocks, and anything else you think will be helpful. A power pruner or weed wacker may be helpful. Please wear long pants.
Bring a bottle of water for yourself. Snacks will be provided. Inclement weather cancels.
We have mowed and weakened the Japanese barberry in the area around the ruins at the Lee Farm for a few years to encourage native vegetation to grow. Now it is time for us to go in and cut or pull out the invasives that are resprouting, and to trim around the stones. Learn to identify the invasives to remove and native plants to preserve.
