March Community Day at O.S. Gray - Arlington

 
The weather's been pretty lately and spring has apparently sprung early.  The Natural Area is beginning to green up - our Springstar flowers are popping up, the Redbud trees are sprouting red buds, the ubiquitous Bradford pears are in bloom, and some unwanted, unwelcome invasives are invading our wildflower bed and Thunder Turf.  So this month we'll be sprucing up our beds and Thunder Turf, and picking up litter.  Bring your favorite weeding tools or your favorite litter picking up apparatus and come on out to join us.

What: March Community Day at O.S. Gray

When:   Saturday March 10, 2012

Where:  O.S. Gray Natural Area, 2021 W. Abram St.

Time:  9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Info: friendsofosgray@gmail.com 

Please bring work gloves and your favorite weeding tools or litter picker upper.

Wear appropriate clothing for the weather and for working in a natural area 

(long pants, long sleeves, sturdy shoes).
