River Bank Work

Before

Cleared of (most) invasives, mulch deer path for access. Grasses mostly identify as Native. No Garlic Mustard (2nd year) and a small amount of Reed Canary Grass (need more grass to grow on bank before getting rid of more, so I am clipping the seeds and trimming what is left, for this year.

After

Cleaned River Bank
Buttonbush with Bergamot strands to sway deer from browsing. Might work. Will check back…
Not sure if this is doing well…the Nimbleweed is taking over, but is listed as Native. I am thinning it until I know more.
