CONSERVATION PROJECT FOR TROOP 415

 

Background

On Saturday, May 30, Boy Scout Troop 415 worked for over 4 hours to remove invasive species at the Blaine Wetland Sanctuary.  Their time was spent learning how to identify the invasive garlic mustard plant and then how to properly remove the weed.   While working they were able to learn about wetlands and the history of the BWS.  The troop plans to apply what they learned on another wetland site and remove  invasive species at the Blaine Scientific and Natural Area next to Karner Blue Elementary and across from Eagle Brook Church one of these upcoming weekends.
