Garlic mustard

Sounds good, no? And it's not unattractive as weeds go, although not quite the looker that purple loosestrife is.

And like loosestrife, it's an invasive that's capable of damaging local ecosystems. That's why the Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association is looking for some help this Saturday in eradicating garlic mustard from the Ellerbe Creek watershed:

If you like exploring creeklands, comfortable in woodland environs (uneven terrain, poison ivy, ticks) and want to HELP we definitely could use you. We will meet this Sat.morning @ 10AM on Club Blvd by Club Blvd School playground (near Washington & Hwy 85 overpass. I'd suggest you wear long pants, bring water and a lite snack (fanny or small backpack good as you will need both hands for pulling and carrying out Garlic mustard). Note: location could change, will send email by Fri. night if it does.

If you want to help but can't make this Sat. please contact me: cynthie@ellerbecreek.org. If there are interested people we could also meet the folowing weekend as a group.

Give 'em a hand if you've got some free time on Saturday.
