The Next Chapter Starts With You
Our work in 2025 is already mapped out:
Monitoring and Education: We'll track seed germination in spring and use this as a hands-on learning opportunity for volunteers.
Reseeding and Restoration: If needed, we’ll reseed the area in April.
Thinning Out Cedars: To give other native species room to thrive, we’ll begin reducing the population of Eastern Red Cedars around the Krumm Road entrance.
Recently, Laura saw a cut leaf grape fern, a perennial evergreen member of the adder’s tongue family.
“It’s so joyous to see nature bounce back from the suppression of invasive exotics! We’ve found other wonderful species popping up, either from the seedbank, laying dormant underground, or carried in by animals or humans.”
