A silent invader is slipping into Monona's park and quietly displacing our native flora and fauna. This insidious invader is of course Garlic Mustard:

The good news is that an hour or two of work once a year can successfully rid a neighborhood park of this pest. Can you help? Prime pulling season is now as the plants are starting to "bolt". I have scouted all the Monona parks and can tell you exactly where to look and what to do if you need some pointers. Otherwise post here in the comments if you do take do an area- that way others can look elsewhere.
I have been taking care of Frost Woods Beach and Maywood Park the last couple of years and will keep those two up.
I know, its not school business related!

Good job, Peter. I am organizing a GM pull in Woodland Park on May 17. Anyone can just show up starting at 10 am in the Aldo Leopold large parking lot.
And don't forget to look for and pull the GM in your own yard.
