!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

Please join us to help clear invasive plants around the ruins. Learn to identify different invasive plants to remove and native plants to preserve. Bring heavy duty work gloves, loppers, clippers, pruners, Mattocks, and anything else you think will 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 the native plants to preserve.

Registration appreciated (walk-ins welcome): openspace@townlyme.org
