The Garlic Mustard Challenge is upon us! Partners, Nature Groupie staff, and volunteers have already reported pulling dozens of garbage bags full of green, leafy garlic mustard from New England conservation areas.
But there is still time to participate!
Attending a volunteer event and pulling up garlic mustard for a couple hours is the best way to learn how to identify garlic mustard and you'll almost certainly have fun.
