Garlic Mustard pull 2021

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!!
