We have made significant progress removing most of the phragmite weed growth on the embankment next to the boat launch at Star Lake.
The next phase requires planting native plants to out compete the phragmite weeds.
So, I am asking our many gardeners for any native plants that can now be divided.
You can drop off tagged native plants at the Conservation commission table, set up on Cider days, October 7-8.
Additional information on our ongoing Star Lake mitigation projects will also be a available.
Here is a short native plant list:
Aquiligea/columbine Amsonia/bluestar Aster Coreopsis/tickseed Elderberries Forget me not Red/yellow twig dogwoods Chelone glabra/turtlehead Willows Echinacea/Coneflower Eupatorium/joe-pye weed, boneset Helianthus/sunflower Asclepias/milkweed Monarda/beebalm Liatris Lobelia Lupine Rudbeckia/black eyed Susan Phlox
Any questions, please reply to the conservation email Mounthollycc@gmail.com
