Sharon Venier and Jay Biernat of The River Raisin Institute (RRI) mobilized yesterday to pull Garlic Mustard (GM).
Last month, Sharon Venier, while at a retreat for the River Raisin Institute board at the IHM river house in Monroe, noticed the invasive plant taking up residence in the garden there. She immediately put out the word and when the time came, RRI went out to pull.
About 40 pounds were pulled in total just from the garden and this can be Added to Danielle Conroyd’s (RRI) earlier invasives pull. These results can then be sent in to the total amount of GM pulled for the emerging Western Lake Erie cluster of the Stewardship network for environmental partnerships.
Great eye, Sharon, and way to get it pulled before it spreads! Many thanks to you, Jay and Danielle for keeping the garlic mustard in check.
