Vinca Wars Presentation Oct. 15
Ridding your garden of pesky invasives like vinca, aka periwinkle and creeping myrtle, is a daunting task. Before our next meeting, Danna Olsen, Tom Oliver, and Marcia Goodrich will share the various methods they use to tackle vinca in our own yards.
The presentation begins on Zoom at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15, before our regular meeting.
Go Beyond Beauty Comes to the Keweenaw
Wild Ones congratulates the Keweenaw Invasive Species Management Area (KISMA) on its successful bid to become a Go Beyond Beauty hub. Learn more about Go Beyond Beauty here.
Three local nurseries have signed onto the statewide program, pledging not to sell any of 14 highly invasive plants. Please let them know you appreciate their efforts to keep invasive plants out of our wildlands.
Welcome to the Wild Ones Keweenaw Chapter
We are on a journey to
- educate ourselves and others about the special attributes of native plants and how to incorporate them into our gardens and civic landscapes;
- create habitat that nurtures wildlife, including bees, butterflies, and birds; and
- develop resilient landscapes that absorb runoff, protecting water quality and infrastructure.
Regular meetings are held at 6 p.m., the third Tuesday of the month, often on Zoom, sometimes in person.
