Brandon Site - February 16th Event Report

Report submitted by Jay Mirro, Creek Steward

It was a great day for the February 16th work party at the Brandon Street Natural area.  The weather was great, lucky us for this time of year.  We planted about 150 native plants and moved about 10 yards of wood chips.  The volunteers worked hard but had a fun time with the plants.  This work party marks the end of the planting in an old home site that was full of blackberry and ivy last year.
