Three excellent opportunities to get involved and make a difference at
Magee Marsh.
Help pull garlic mustard. Contact me and I will fix you up. Hurry
though, it's going to seed soon.
May 12 , participate in our Walk on the Wildside, Weeds to Wildflowers
project from 9:30-2 pm.
All monies raised will go towards buying native plants to replace the
garlic mustard.
Sign up that day or at www.friendsofmageemarsh.org
Help us plant native plants on June 7th.
The hummingbirds are loving the wild columbine that our volunteers
planted last year!
Happy Birding! (and better birding without all of that garlic
mustard!!!)

Subject: Re: Headlands cutting- Invasive plants and Ohio Birds
Hi,
Tom makes really excellent points.
(Although I disagree the strategy is anything more than cut and hope, it
would be insane for anyone doing it to admit that)
While there are lots of things we can do on an individual level, I am
calling for the Ohio birding community to figure out what can be done
state wide, in our state parks, nature preserves, and wildlife areas.
We need to think big picture, large scale action and probably big money.
But the action and money will never come without a well thought out
plan.
To me the crucial questions are: How can there be a readily available
stock of native plants available to replace invasives when they are
removed from state lands? How can the Ohio birding community contribute
to making this happen?
If we as a community are too apathetic to be bothered then we have no
right to complain when it happens.
