from The Friends of the Blue Hills

Why would you wake up early on a Saturday morning to pull weeds?

What if we said the Blue Hills ecosystems depended on it?

For three Saturdays in June, we will be helping DCR remove invasive species. These are weeds from another part of the country or world that do so well here they kill off the native plant species, depleting the supply of native plants, disrupting the habitat and food supply of everything connected to it in the ecosystem, including insects, wildlife and other plants. By helping to remove these plants, we’ll increase the biodiversity of the ecosystems – meaning more native species will thrive – and the Blue Hills will be home to healthier flora and fauna.

And if you’re still not convinced, well… we’ll provide coffee! Please RSVP for details, including location: 781-828-1805 or judy@FriendsoftheBlueHills.org .
