Beauties and the Beasts

The spring Garlic Mustard control season is winding down as the “Garlic Mustard beast” flowers give way to seeds and the window to easily find the plants closes. But, the Friends of Wildcat Mountain have been working diligently and progress is very evident. The beauty is all around us and reminds us why we continue the work each year. As Spring Beauties and Hepatica flowers disappear until next year the next native flowers step up to continue the spectacular show. Too many to mention by name in fact! The next “beast” up on the list is Japanese Barberry. We’ll be working on that and non-native Honeysuckle until it’s time for round two with Garlic Mustard in the fall. If you want to really get to know Wildcat Mountain join us and witness the ever changing landscape. Email us at friendsofwildcatmountain@gmail.com if you want to get involved.
