The Garlic Mustard Challenge is a collaborative effort between the University, the Friends of the Preserve and other volunteers who will "pull together" to control this invasive plant in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve.
Everyone is welcome to join in the effort! Check out the Preserve volunteer workparty schedule for dates and times you can help.
Look for weekly updates--number of hours worked and bags of garlic mustard removed--on the Friends of the Preserve website and on kiosks located in the Preserve.
A celebration will take place after the volunteer workparty on Sat. May 5 from Noon to 1pm at the entrance to Picnic Point. Refreshments will be provided, including garlic mustard pesto!

The Lakeshore Nature Preserve will be the focus of a photo exhibit at UW-Madison's Health Sciences Learning Center (first floor next to the UW Hospital entrance) for the month of June 2012. All four seasons are represented in this exhibit by Deb Ahlstedt, a long-time member of the Friends of the Preserve. Many of the pictures also will be on display at the Sunroom Cafe on State Street from July 8 through August 19, 2012 as part of a larger exhibit on UW-Madison. (4/26)
