Workshop presented by Lech Naumovich, Golden Hour Restoration Institute
RSVP: garberparkstewards@gmail.com
Join us for our first
Winter workshop of the 2016 Season. We
will take a walk on the Loop Trail through Garber while identifying the many
native ferns and discussing habitat. You
will learn key anatomical terms and a bit about reproduction Then we will head over to Fern Glade, remove
ivy, flag any native plants that we find, and learn about in-situ propagation
of Garber’s native ferns. Trilliums
abound in Fern Glade; if we’re lucky we will see many beginning to pop up.
Dress in layers for the changing weather,
wear boots with good sturdy shoes, and be ready to have fun while Learning
with Lech about ferns, monitoring, Healthy Forests, and Phytophthera. Coffee, tea, and breakfast rolls will
be ready by 9:15am (under Shelagh’s carport at the Evergreen Lane Entrance to
Garber). Workshop begins at 9:30.
What to bring: We provide gloves, tools, and snacks, but if you have a
sharp tool such as a hori hori, trowel,
or clippers please bring them. Also bring a water bottle to fill
up from our water container.
Directions: Many of you have been to Garber before
and have your own favorite way of getting here, but for those who aren't
familiar with the park a map and directions can be found our website www.garberparkstewards.org.

Stairs. Coffee and snacks are at the top of the stairs which is the Evergreen
Lane Entrance.
