This hike goes through narrow\, sometimes rocky areas\, and had multiple elevation changes. Hiking poles and sturdy footwear are recommended. Meet at the parking area on Joshuatown Road. All are invited to bring light snacks to share along wi th EHLT refreshments.

SUMMARY:Nix the Knotweed - Lyme
DESCRIPTION:Whalebone Cove by the bridge over Ferry Road – Rte 149 \nThe knotweed has been highly reduced but we still have to weed out the ones that persist and new ones that come up from seeds. We are in our sixth year of tackling the knotweed using the “method of 3s”: cut knotweed down to the ground and remove the plant material; 3 chops each growing season (May\, mid-July\, and mid-August). The cuttings must be carefully disposed of since each little piece will regrow into a new plant. \nBring work gloves\, clippers or loppers. We’ll provide the bags! Bring your own water bottle. Snacks will be provided. \nPlease register: (walk-ins welcome) Openspace@townlyme.org
