SUMMARY:Work Day Event: Shrubland Habitat and Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Several years ago\, we established three ‘islands’ of native shrubs in Cooke’s Pasture to provide food and habitat for shrubland birds and small mammals. We return every year to prune the shrubs\, cut back competing undergrowth\, and replace plants that have not survived the winter. Tools will be provided\, though additional clippers are always welcome. Wear long pants and bring along your favorite insect repellent. Meet at the Cooke Ave. parking lot at 9:00 a.m. or at the Fitzgerald Lake dam at 9:30 a.m. Contact Brad Timm at bradtimm@gmail.com if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Removal of Water Chestnut from Fitzgerald Lake (Work Event)
DESCRIPTION:Six years ago we implemented a new approach to controlling water chestnut in Fitzgerald Lake called “pull early\, pull often.” In 2017\, we removed roughly 1\,100 lbs. from the lake while in 2022 the yield was down to 140 lbs. Though we are pleased with the results so far\, viable water chestnut seed can persist for up to ten years on the lake bottom so we plan to continue our “pull early\, pull often” approach again this year. We’ll organize crews in late May\, begin pulling in mid-June and continue at 3-week intervals throughout the summer. Volunteers should bring their own canoes or kayaks. If interested\, contact Bob Zimmermann by email (raz@umass.edu) or phone (585-0405) for further information or to volunteer.

SUMMARY:Removal of Invasives on Boggy Meadow Road (Work Event)
DESCRIPTION:The margins of roads provide excellent habitat for the growth of invasive plants. We have located many patches of invasives along Boggy Meadow Road\, which connects the former Moose Lodge parking lot at the end of Cooke Avenue with the Fitzgerald Lake dam. We will work our way along the road\, removing invasive plants such as multiflora rose\, Asiatic bittersweet\, Japanese barberry\, autumn olive and non-native honeysuckle by hand: pulling\, cutting and digging. Tools will be provided\, but if you care to bring clippers\, pruning saws and lopping shears\, it would be appreciated. And don’t forget gloves\, sunscreen and insect repellent. Meet at the former Moose Lodge parking lot. Contact Bill Williams at 585-9696.

SUMMARY:Annual Cleanup at the North Farms Road Entrance (Work Event)
DESCRIPTION:Each year we devote one day in the spring to cleaning up the North Farms Road entrance to the FLCA including clearing winter debris from the path to the bridge and boardwalk\, picking up trash in the parking lot\, and removing by hand invasive plants such as garlic mustard\, Japanese knotweed and multiflora rose in the adjoining woods. Please help us spruce up this heavily used route to the conservation area. Tools will be provided. Contact Brad Timm at 401-595-9934

SUMMARY:Volunteer: Removal of Water Chestnut from Fitzgerald Lake
DESCRIPTION:Four years ago we implemented a new approach to controlling water chestnut in Fitzgerald Lake called “pull early\, pull often.” In 2017\, we removed roughly 1\,100 lbs. from the lake but in 2018 the yield was down to 300 lbs. and even less in 2019 and 2020. Though we are pleased with the results so far\, viable water chestnut seed can persist for up to ten years on the lake bottom\, so we plan to continue our more aggressive approach once again this year. We’ll organize crews in late May\, begin pulling in mid-June\, and continue at 3-week intervals throughout the summer. We will need volunteers with canoes or kayaks though we can always use the help of those who don’t have their own boats. If interested\, contact Bob Zimmermann by email (raz@umass.edu) or phone (585-0405) for further information or to volunteer.

SUMMARY:Volunteer: Removal of Invasives on Boggy Meadow Road
DESCRIPTION:The margins of roads provide excellent habitat for the growth of invasive plants. We have surveyed and located many patches of invasives along Boggy Meadow Road\, which connects the former Moose Lodge parking lot at the end of Cooke Avenue with the Fitzgerald Lake dam. We will work our way along the road\, removing invasive plants such as multiflora rose\, Asiatic bittersweet\, Japanese barberry\, autumn olive\, and non-native honeysuckle by hand: pulling\, cutting\, and digging. Tools will be provided\, but if you care to bring clippers\, pruning saws\, and lopping shears\, it would be appreciated. And don’t forget gloves\, sunscreen\, and insect repellent. Meet at the former Moose Lodge parking lot. Contact Bill Williams at 585-9696.

SUMMARY:Volunteer: Removal of Water Chestnut from Fitzgerald Lake
DESCRIPTION:Four years ago we implemented a new approach to controlling water chestnut in Fitzgerald Lake called “pull early\,\npull often.” In 2017\, we removed roughly 1\,100 lbs. from the lake but in 2018 the yield was down to 300 lbs. and even less in 2019 and 2020. Though we are pleased with the results\nso far\, viable water chestnut seed can persist for up to ten years on the lake bottom\, so we plan to continue our more aggressive approach once again this year. We’ll organize\ncrews in late May\, begin pulling in mid-June\, and continue at 3-week intervals throughout the summer. We will need volunteers with canoes or kayaks though we can always use\nthe help of those who don’t have their own boats.

SUMMARY:Volunteer: Shrubland Habitat and Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Several years ago\, we established three ‘islands’ of native shrubs in Cooke’s Pasture to provide food and habitat for shrubland birds and small mammals. We return every year to prune the shrubs\, cut back competing undergrowth\, and replace plants that have not survived the winter. Tools will be provided\, though additional clippers are always welcome. Wear long pants and bring along your favorite insect repellent. Meet at the former Moose Lodge parking lot at the end of Cooke Avenue at 8:30 a.m. or at the Fitzgerald Lake dam at 9:00 a.m. Contact Dick Wynne at 584-7930.
