Hi,<br>
<br>
MS4B has submitted a proposal to plant pollinator patches and bring back bobolinks to the largest meadow of a 70-acre conservation area. <br>
<br>
The teens (15-19) in our summer youth work & learn program will plan the gardens and plant the plugs and plants. Teens will also serve as citizen scientists, tracking the weather, noting the wildlife they see, recording youth activities, etc. <br>
<br>
The area has been overrun with invasives?Black Swallowwort, Bittersweet, others. The landscape contractor intends to use herbicides that he says are safe on the property sometime in the spring. The invasives have to go, but I?d hate to have toxic chemicals sprayed where I?m trying to attract pollinators. I don?t want to seem obstructive either. I need more practical information from experts, so I?m writing to ask for your suggestions.<br>
<br>
Thank you for any help you can give. Check out website <a href="http://www.meadowmaking.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.meadowmaking.org</a> for program information. Let me know whether you?d like to know more.<br>
<br>
Sincerely, Barbara<br>
