Little Paint Branch, Garlic Mustard Cleanup, Spring 2007

In 2007, volunteers from MNPS worked to clean up the woods around Little Paint Branch Park. See what some areas looked like before and after the clean-up.

Area heavily infested with garlic mustard in front of large tree; volunteer hands seen in background pulling weeds
Before cleanup: garlic mustard abounds. Garlic mustard is the tall plant with the white flowers at the top.

Cleared area showing no garlic mustard in front of tree
After cleanup: we can now view the native plant, poison ivy. Poison ivy is the thick vine crawling up the tree trunk.

Before cleanup: volunteers are knee-high in garlic mustard.
