Native Plant Restoration – Unami Park
November 9 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
In partnership with the Garwood Green Team
Join us to learn about removing invasive plants!
Mary Roberts, Co-founder of NPS Union Chapter and expert
in Native Plants will lead this important initiative in Garwood!
The last fall project of 2024 will include spreading another layer of chips on the Center Street, Garwood to Twin Oak Terrace Westfield path. This will enhance the path before any winter storms, reduce weed growth in the path and fix some erosion damage.
The team also has a 12-14′ Tulip and similar sized Sweetgum tree to plant, along with numerous native tree seedlings donated by a nearby resident, and others grown at the Team’s tree nursery. These plants will continue our ‘go native’ theme and help provide food for local wildlife. We hope to plant and enclose these trees with tubing to keep them safe from deer browsing. Finally, we will have a dozen bird houses to mount on 8-10′ wooden posts. Digging these holes will require some determination! (and post hole diggers!)
Please bring work gloves, wheelbarrows, shovels, hay forks, rakes, post hole diggers, and any other tools you think may be of assistance.
Everyone who participates will be asked to sign a waiver form from Union County.
Refreshments will be provided.
Hope to see you there!
