Spring wildflower planting at Frautschi Point - 2021

5/28/2021

0 Comments

 
What joy, that this year the Friends' annual wildflower planting could proceed as planned. Volunteers still wore masks and kept social distance, but they were able to plant 11 flat with 32 plants per flat, a total of 352 plants.

Bryn Scriver, Preserve volunteer coordinator, and Kelly Kearns of the Friends, project co-leader, coordinated the event and selection of the planting area. Kelly reports: "The planting went well. Weather was warm, but we were in the woods so it wasn't hot there. 11 volunteers came to plant, listed below. Each had a flat of plants and a designated area in Frautschi Point for planting."

A group of twelve determined Friends volunteers, under the leadership of Garlic mustard warrior Roma Lenehan and Preserve volunteer coordinator Bryn Scriver, terminated the growing season of hundreds and hundreds of garlic mustard plants at Frautschi Point. The group filled over 30 big black bags. Working in groups of six, the avid pullers followed COVID restrictions with keeping social distancing and wearing masks. Our volunteers were Anne Pearce, Ann Burgess, Karen Nakasone, Glenda Denniston, Roma Lenehan, Will Vuyk, Olympia Mathiaparanam, John Pfender, Marjorie Rhine, Susan Slapnick, Signe Holtz, Galen Hasler and Grace Hasler. Thank you all!!
