    GREATER CELANDINE PULL PARTY HIKE– Please join us in June to HELP FILL THE CRIB!  We will hike in from Ridge Road (<1 km) picking greater celandine trailside along the way – bring a bag to fill.  Once we arrive at the crib location we will empty our bags into the crib, pick greater celandine in that area for a while and then hike back out.  There are spring ephemerals to admire along the way – removing greater celandine and other invasive species allow these native species to thrive!
