| So many good things are happening in Cape St. Claire. Steward Candidate Lydia McPherson (Class 14) will lead an expansion of an invasives removal project begun by Jeanne Martin (Class 13) last year at the Cape boat ramp. Because her planting won’t go in until the fall, she is using the juxtaposition of “before and after” as the perfect teaching tool for the community this summer. Meanwhile, under the leadership of Steward Stacey Wildberger (Class 13), Cape Conservation Corps gave residents native shrubs (ninebark, gro-low sumac or red chokeberry – any combo) for removing at least one of the following invasive shrubs – nandina, burning bush or Japanese barberry. Fifty invasives were removed and over 90 native shrubs planted! |
