| Commons Ford in full spring bloom in the summer of 2012. |
Join us in our continuing fight to remove more invasives as a
part of the Commons Ford Prairie Restoration Project. Our
restoration project is entering its fifth year and in that time we have made
great strides. Still, we must make every effort to remove any
remaining invasive grasses in order to allow the natives to grow and flourish.
For the volunteer day, we will especially be concentrating on the King Ranch
bluestem.

If you are interested, bring your shovel (we will have a few on
hand if you do not have your own) and gloves and join us. We will be there from 8
a.m. to noon, but feel free to choose your own time and work as little or as
much as you would like. This project qualifies for Master Naturalist volunteer
hours. Let us know if you need documentation. It's also a great
opportunity to see and ask questions about native plants and prairie
restoration.

We will also provide water and snacks. Since we
will be working in the prairie, although the grass is very low, long pants and
long sleeves are recommended. No experience necessary and everyone
is welcome. Come be a part of this important restoration
project. Registration is not necessary but if you have any questions,
email Diane Sherrill at nativeearthscapes@gmail.com.
