The Acorn E-News: March 2025
Hits: 23
Check out the March 2025 Edition of The Acorn e-newsletter for volunteer opportunities, upcoming events, and updates from NICHES.
From April 11 to May 11, NICHES will be hosting our 6th annual War of the Weeds volunteer effort to improve understory plant diversity in our woodlands.
Every spring, the invasive plant garlic mustard emerges across our preserves in large numbers. If left unchecked, this weed can change soil chemistry, overtake the forest's understory, and diminish the beautiful display of native ephemeral wildflowers. With your help, the forest understory will be filled with a diverse mix of plants that provide food and shelter to abundant wildlife.
For this year’s effort, we will be hosting a series of garlic mustard pulling shifts at NICHES preserves within a 10-50 minute drive of Lafayette. This is our organization's single biggest annual volunteer push - if we can fill every volunteer shift, it will provide over a thousand volunteer hours during a critically important stewardship window. Please check out our shift dates/locations and sign-up by clicking the button below.
Every volunteer that signs up for at least 2 shifts by the end of March will receive this years Garlic Mustard ID Bandanna (shown below).
