Garlic Mustard is an invasive plant species that has become more troublesome in our area, taking over spots once dominated by native plants. You can help put a stop to this vicious cycle! Join us for our Garlic Mustard Challenge events to help combat this invasive plant before it can spread in our woodlands.

We will be hand-pulling garlic mustard from conservation lands that Kestrel manages. Come help out on Tuesday, May 16 in South Hadley or Thursday, May 18 in Belchertown, from 10 am to 12:30 pm both days. These events are part of a collaborative effort throughout New England and beyond to restore and protect natural ecosystems by managing this invasive plant.

Contact Charlotte Malmborg to RSVP to one or both workdays at charlotte@kestreltrust.org or 413-549-1097 .
