We had a good turnout on Saturday morning at Paddock, especially given the intermittent drizzle that marked much of the day (and week.) Special thanks to first-time volunteers Carl, Natasha, and Jordan.
We split up, some of us cutting and burning honeysuckle, others pulling garlic mustard in an adjacent area cleared of brush on past days. That latter area looked great, with a variety of wildflowers popping up. The spring beauties and toothwort, though, were quite bashful about showing their blooms in the chill and damp.

Jean's poncho tells the story of this morning
Sunday at Cap Sauers, the focus was again garlic mustard, and we covered a good stretch in the course of the afternoon. Pull a few, walk a bit, pull a couple more. That's encouraging, much better than working in an area so infested you pull a full armload before moving your feet again.
The lush green beyond the trees in the foreground is wetland.
