Mounds SP Hosts 'Garlic Mustard Massacre' May 14
Indiana Ag Connection - 05/04/2016
Mounds State Park is seeking volunteers on May 14 to help "massacre" garlic mustard, an invasive plant that is spreading through the park's forest.
Garlic mustard shades out native spring wildflowers. Volunteers will receive instruction on identifying the plant and then will pull it from the forest by hand.
The "Garlic Mustard Massacre" starts at 1 p.m. at the visitors center lawn. Volunteers will receive free admission the day of the event by registering in advance. To register, call (765) 649-8128.
According to park naturalist Kelley Morgan, the event is a great community service opportunity for civic and scout groups. Gloves and trash bags will be provided.
If your group is unable to help on May 14 but would like to help pull garlic mustard on a different day, call (765) 649-8128. Mounds State Park (stateparks.IN.gov/2977.htm) is at 4306 Mounds Road, Anderson.
