2022 Vine Days- Jan 8 at Lorimer

OLC is continuing its series of winter "Vine Days" to continue the successful campaign against invasive vegetation. Our Preserves continue to provide a COVID "relief valve", and this is a great - and safe - way to help sustain our precious community resource.

We are again focusing on the George Lorimer Preserve particularly on the north-eastern section. (In addition, this year there will be a new initiative: a "Barberry Day", to dig up a proliferation of Japanese Barberry bushes in the Airdrie Forest Preserve. This invasive was just added to Pennsylvania's list of noxious weeds.)

Volunteers get out in the fresh air, help foster a diverse and attractive native eco-system and enjoy the companionship of like-minded neighbors.

All that's needed are protected clothing, gloves and, if possible, tools such as loppers, pruners and hand saws (and shovels for the Barberry) to supplement OLC's supply.
