IT’S MILE-A-MINUTE SEASON!
The dreaded mile-a-minute vine is making its mark on Long Island as never before. Known for its rapid growth (up to six inches in a day, or up to 25 feet in a season!), this invasive pest, if left to its own devices, can take over a field or woodland, outcompeting desirable native vegetation. We have scheduled a series of events for volunteers to pull mile-a-minute at a preserve in Old Brookville or Upper Brookville this year.
Please join North Shore Land Alliance at one or more of the following events!:
Thursday June 27thth @ 9:30am
Thursday July 11th @ 6:00pm
Saturday July 13th @ 9:30am
Sunday July 28th @9:30am
Additional times may be arranged for groups. This is a wonderful opportunity for those looking to fulfill community service requirements!
SUPPLIES AND SNACKS WILL BE PROVIDED.
