Fight an invasive species by eating it! Our Land Stewardship team needs your help to pull garlic mustard, an invasive plant, and then we’ll teach you how to make a delicious pesto with it! You’ll take home some pesto, the knowledge you need to find and remove it in your own neighborhood, and the satisfaction of knowing that you helped do something good for your community-owned nature center!
Cost:
Non-Member Adult: $10
