Paddock Woods Saturday May 2
We had quite the corps of volunteers Saturday; thirteen from the FPCC NEWTS program (thank you Yuan, Rachel, Ellen, Jonathan, Patricia, Grace, Warren, Lexi, Ryan, Marcia, Ellen, Bryan, and Emma); another group from a Moraine Valley Community College class taught by Negin Almassi of Forest Preserves of Cook County, in addition to Maddie, Teri, and Emily from Volunteer Resources and a number of our regular volunteers.
The focus was garlic mustard, and we found enough to go around for a group this large. Volunteers picked and composted huge heaps of the stuff throughout the morning, while getting to see a good sampling of the native wildflowers currently in bloom. Paddock has a rich mix of natives and was a terrific site for this endeavor. Our heartfelt thanks to all who attended!
