We will be removing a patch of pesky periwinkle that is threatening the sensitive ecosystem at the Lathrop Nature Preserve. We will talk about how to identify this invasive plant, and then we will hand-pull it. Physical activity will involve walking about two kilometres over uneven terrain, bending, kneeling and crouching.
