South Windsor Invasive Plants Working Group

Down to Earth Garden Club members are partnering with the South Windsor Parks Department to explore control of invasive plants in the open spaces in South Windsor. We are looking for interested individuals to explore control options and work with this project. Please link to South Windsor Invasive Plants website for more information if you are willing to help with this project.

First Work party: Began clearing burning bush, winged euonymus, behind Town Hall along Petersen Way.

Amazing progress has been made with the help of a great group of community volunteers. Individuals from Scouting America troops have been contributing partners with various Eagle scout projects that have enhanced the site. The next phase will be the addition of an invasives trail with signage for identification and control measures, as well as , alternatives. Individuals, businesses and organizations are invited to "adopt" a section of the trail for continued clearing and maintenance.
