Himalayan Balsam Pull at Wesserunsett Stream
Advertisement
Help the stewardship crew with mechanical invasive species removal at Wesserunsett Stream Preserve in Skowhegan. This will be a first-ever attempt at controlling the Himalayan Balsam at this preserve.
Expect a hands-on stewardship morning. We will meet at the Wesserunsett Stream Preserve Trailhead, hike into the site either on the Blue or Orange trail depending on volunteer preference, and work within the floodplain to hand pull shallow-rooted, easily identifiable plants before their seed capsules mature. We’ll bag the pullings and pack them out with us such that they can solarize and be disposed of properly without risk of spreading the plant itself.
We hope to see you there!
