Visitors to the Mink Brook Nature Preserve will notice something new this week – stakes, mesh sleeves, fresh flagging  – and 2000 new trees and shrubs! Our volunteers, led by forester Ehrhard Frost and crew, are now replanting natives to fill in areas where invasive buckthorn, honeysuckle, and autumn olive had been removed. This major project has been funded with a cost-share from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Thanks to the Hanover Lions Club for sending helping hands for this project.
