Keeping the Faith: Winning the War on Invasives One Day At A Time

Saturday, May 12 Garlic Mustard Pull at Devil's Hole, starting at 9 a.m.

Yesterday's pull at Devil's Hole was a big success: 27 bags pulled! The work continues though with more stands to remove at this site. As always, a great time was had by all and it was a very productive afternoon. The fun continues tomorrow and this is a site well worth preserving.

Reason to Believe

Choosing to take up the battle against invasive plants requires a leap of faith. You have to step up to the problem with the audacious belief that you really can make a difference. It can be hard at times, not just taking on the work and seeing it through, but you can lose sight of why you should keep trying. Holding on to that faith that got you started, however, can amount to simply stopping for a moment and looking around you. Just look at the woods around you. Look at this woods at Devil's Hole and the natural beauty of the woodland plants, some of them quite rare.

There: your reason to believe.
