Description

Help stop the spread of invasive Canada thistle in our beloved Lusitania Meadow! We won't be pulling out these prickly buggers (phew), but we will weaken them over time by cutting them at the base of their stems to make room for the lupine, sweet clovers, tansies and yarrows we (and the bees) love! Heavy leather gloves and tools are provided. Long sleeves & pants are recommended, as are a water bottle and bug spray. No experience necessary. For more information contact Julie Coffey: jcoffey@cambridgema.gov, (617)-349-7712.
