The weather's been pretty lately and spring has apparently sprung early.  The Natural Area is beginning to green up - our Springstar flowers are popping up, the Redbud trees are sprouting red buds, the ubiquitous Bradford pears are in bloom, and some unwanted, unwelcome invasives are invading our wildflower bed and Thunder Turf.  So this month we'll be sprucing up our beds and Thunder Turf, and picking up litter.  Bring your favorite weeding tools or your favorite litter picking up apparatus and come on out to join us.
