Invasive removal and native plant restoration work continues at AGM next to Brandon Road. High school students led by Holly Samuels (Lexington Conservation Steward and nearby resident) continue the Buckthorn/Honeysuckle/ Burning Bush removal marathon. This will provide a healthier, more diverse environment, improve the wildlife habitat and also opens up a great view of the wetland meadows. This work will continue up the trail to Fottler Avenue where the removed small trees will be laid on cardboard to suppress unwanted seed germination and provide some wildlife habitat. (FYI – Trees marked with red tape are the ones being saved.)
