Restoration Update

On one of our all-too-common rain days, it was too wet and muddy to work.  Instead we visited the nearby Lusardi Creek County Preserve to survey for weeds that had come up since we restored the area.  We didn’t see many because of all the natives in the way.  They included very large Elderberry (Sambucus nigra, not shown) and Horseweed (Erigeron canadensis, sometimes called Conyza canadensis).  Though appearing much like what you might expect a weed to look like, Horseweed is native according to Calflora and is found throughout North and Central America.
