Lesser Celandine removal at Mertensia Park

May 19, 2023:  Reporting back that our Invasive Lesser Celandine dig was a success!

Emily and Laura met at Mertensia Park and got right to work flagging, digging, and bagging as much lesser celandine as they saw.  They certainly made a positive impact on removing most of the lesser celandine and look forward to being joined by others to dig again in March or April of 2024 before the bluebells bloom.

Best efforts were made to remove as much of the plants with bulblets and tubers as possible 

Full bags ready to move to Rotary sign for pick up

Job well done!
