The Nature Trail Committee’s Trail and Stream Clean-up Day is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 10 a.m.-12 noon, weather permitting. We have a number of on-going work projects in addition to cleaning up Herbert Run, so come join us if you care to. We started our erosion control work earlier than July due to the availability of ferns to plant in the hillside above the Trail and below the St. Charles. Four hardy souls staked support branches into the hillside and planted three dozen ferns to kick off the project. Last week about a dozen Committee members participated in planting about 100 milkweed plants (2 varieties) in the new Wildflower Garden on Erickson Way across the street from the woods between the Grounds and Herbert’s Run buildings. We hope that the plantings will help the Monarch butterfly population even more than our first effort last year (about 60-70 plants survived by the Lake). Call Bert Clegern at 410-242-6003 if you are interested in joining our group.
