Cap Sauers Holding, Saturday May 24
Our small group of volunteers, including Oliver and Josh from Tinley Resource Management, pulled garlic mustard (GM) from an area Margaret's been working, not far from Ford Road near an old CCC bridge. The population was not huge, a good sign, no doubt helped by a school group that worked there a couple weeks earlier with her.
It's a pretty spot with lots of natives, including a decent patch of wild hyacinth, many still hanging onto their blooms. Very nice!
Swallow Cliff South, Sunday May 25
We had another small group of GM pullers, including first-time Palos volunteer Jaylen who came all the way from Monee, and Jose from Humboldt Park. Maddie Peacher, This on a day when raindrops were still falling at 8:00 am and more rain was predicted through 10 am or so. That didn't come, thank you weather deities!
This may be our last Sunday at Swallow Cliff until August, when we plan to do a morning of woodland seed collection, followed by another seed day on the prairie in September.
