TMN Chapter Meeting

Restoration Efforts at the Connemara Meadow Nature Preserve – Bob Mione, Blackland Prairie Master Naturalists

The presentation deals with the detailed history of restoration attempts at the 72 acre nature preserve.  Removal of invasives, both chemically and via solarization, the use of a “no till drill”, using a greenhouse to start seedlings, irrigation techniques, seed choices, mowing techniques and other aspects of native grass and wild flower restoration are discussed.   Recent focus on restoring habitat for Monarch butterflies and bees is highlighted.

This is something that our chapter would like to do at Lick Creek Park and we are going to need all the volunteers that we can round up.  So come to the meeting and see how we can help restore Lick Creek to it’s previous beauty!
