What we (with help) have been doing in Colonial Park 

On May 24, '25 we pulled garlic mustard, and dames rocket.  On Reddit there’s a post “Pulling weeds by the roots feels oh-so-satisfying!”  And it's true!  

What we (with help) have been doing in Colonial Park 

On May 17, '25 we got 18 more native plants in the ground, protected by hoop cages.  Some have cardboard to make summer maintenance easier.  Some are near the bench near the bridge to Lincoln Park, so you will see native flowers there in time.  Of course everything is growing, so come take a look!

What we (with help) did on May 13 

We planted 36 small forbs (flowering perennials) in protective rings.  These will add to the native plants that survived the loss of the ash trees.  Many thanks to the folks from Johnson Financial on their Service Day.

On April 26, '25 we planted 100 small trees. They are nearly twigs, but they can dream if they get planted.  The Root River Council and the City (PRCS) installed six more benches.

On March 22, '25 we smothered reed canary grass
