Fall Planting at Mid Ravine

Join Still Moon for another round of stewardship at the Mid Ravine site! We’ve cleared lots of the dominant English ivy, Sycamore maple, and Himalayan blackberry at this site.

It's now time to re-plant with local species that support wildlife, pollinators, and humans! Join us at this session to plant 15 different species of plants and learn to identify them and how they support the ravine!
