Crow’s Nest in the community: September 24 events

Mark your calendars: next Saturday Natural Lands Trust will be represented at a couple of community events. First I’ll be giving a walk and talk about two challenges for gardeners and ecosystems—invasive plants and deer—at a local native-plant nursery, Sugarbush Nursery on Route 10 in Mohnton. We’ll begin at 11 am. A suggested donation is $3 for adults; RSVP requested at info@sugarbushnursery.com.

Then in the afternoon and evening I’ll be at Warwick County Park for their Autumn Celebration. It runs from 4 to 8 pm and includes fitness, family, and fall activities: a 5k and kids’ runs, rock wall, orienteering demonstration, food and ice cream, a reptile programs, and wagon rides and petting zoo. We’ll have a tent there with trail maps, guides to natural gardening, and kids’ activities.
