SUMMARY:Garlic Mustard Erase-A-Thon at Meltzer Woods in Shelby County 4.22
DESCRIPTION:Help us welcome back native plants and wildlife by removing invasive garlic mustard from Meltzer Woods. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupport the health and resilience of the old growth forest by helping with invasive plant removal. Meltzer Woods is a National Natural Landmark and one of our most beloved preserves. \nAll Ages \nPlease RSVP so we know to expect you. \nWhat to Expect and Bring: \n\nVolunteers will remove plants by hand.\nThe terrain at this preserve is considered moderate.\nDress in long pants thick enough to stand up to thorns\, brush\, poison ivy\, ticks\, and mosquitos (unfortunately leggings aren’t very protective). Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.\nWear closed-toed shoes that can stand up to mud.\nBring gardening or work gloves. If you don’t have gloves\, we will provide some.\nDress for the weather as we will work rain or shine.\nPublic restrooms are not available.\nIn case of inclement weather\, check email for updates.\n\nDirections: \nMeltzer Woods is located near Shelbyville and is a short 35-minute drive from Indianapolis. From Indianapolis\, take I74 E to IN 244 E\, then turn left onto S 600 East. Staff will meet you in the parking lot. Map:@Meltzer Woods \nJoin us for other Garlic Mustard Erase-A-Thon Events at Meltzer: \n\nApril 8 Erase-A-Thon\nApril 15 Erase-A-Thon\nApril 22 Erase-A-Thon\n\nMore on Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) \nIt is an invasive plant species that spreads into high-quality woodlands\, upland and floodplain forests\, not just into disturbed areas. Garlic mustard alters habitat suitability for native plants\, insects\, and thereby birds and mammals. \nWhat else can I do? \nAfter visiting an area that has invasive weeds present\, clean up before you leave the site. Make sure your clothes\, boots\, vehicles\, and pets are seed free. Use plants native to Central Indiana in your yard and garden.
