SWC joined high school students with SWANEC in removing stilt grass at Apex Community Park. Somewhat hazardous duty, due to poison ivy in disguise. They had the traditional three leaves, but without the “thumb”. Also, there was grass in-between native species. With the knowledge of Courtney and Bill along with the “Picture This” app, we were able to sort the plants out, which left some nice native beds of Dwarf St’s Wort, chamber bitter, wild yam and others.
There is still a large stand stilt grass we would like to remove before the first frost. Hopefully mid October.
