Stew Crew
June 25 | 9:00 am – 11:00 am
We will be doing our last Garlic Mustard pull this Thursday, back at the Wiebrecht Property.
The seedpods are still green, likely due to the very cool spring and summer we’ve had so far, but the leaves are starting to turn yellow and fall off in a process called senescence. It’s a really interesting evolutionary strategy where plants begin to re-assign nutrients to their fruits and seeds (or storage structures like tubers or roots) and away from the rest of the plant before it dies to ensure reproduction or growth next year.
Following this event, we will be going back to the regular Stew Crew schedule of every 2nd and 4th Thursday.
When & Where: CLCF’s Wiebrecht Property on Thursday, June 25th from 9-11 AM. Parking is available along the road shoulder of Oak Lodge Rd, just south of the intersection with German Village Rd, West Bend WI 53095. If you need any help finding where to park, please reach out.
Bring: A pair of work gloves.
Hope to see you there, and thank you all for your help this Garlic Mustard season! After this event, I’ll tally up the numbers and give the final report.
