The Newton Conservators Invasives Team tackles garlic mustard, buckthorn, black swallow-wort, bittersweet, japanese knotweed, and other problems in many of Newton’s open spaces. Come join us! The schedule for this month is listed below (dates are listed by month in separate “events”). Help keep these invaders out! Wear long pants tucked into socks, closed shoes, and garden gloves. Trash bags will be provided; the City will dispose properly as trash, not as yard waste. New to our invasives sessions? See our FAQs and complete Volunteer Release form. Rain will cancel the session. If in doubt, contact Katherine Howard at 617 721 2571.
For November, we’ll continue with 9:30am-12 noon on Thursdays and Saturdays, adding some Sunday afternoons, with some exceptions. We’ll focus on knotweed, porcelainberry, bittersweet, and shrubs.
Rain will cancel the session. If in doubt, contact Katherine Howard at 617 721 2571. New to our invasives sessions? See our FAQs and complete Volunteer Release form.
