Early Spring Work

April 22, 2025

Spring Flooding and Green Arriving…It’s time to begin the season’s work! Planting includes MI Genotype grasses and forbs, Bush Honeysuckle, Honey Locust, Red Mulberry (Morus rubra), and Chinkapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) – to replace deer browse (and hopefully, eventually, save some of the new seedlings.)

Above: Know your Violets! They are vital to pollinators waking from their warm leaf-litter resting places.

On-going work includes spraying and pulling invasive herbs, seedlings and continued Honeysuckle and Privet removal (seedlings and regrowth.)

Things are looking pretty good thus far! The deer fences will stay up for 1-3 years, depending on plant size, and moved to the wetlands as we begin tackling Reed Canary Grass.
