Help pull up garlic mustard and enjoy wildflowers this weekend

The Oak Ridger

April 9, 2024 at 5:33 PM·1 min read

The greenway behind Oak Ridge’s Rolling Hills Apartments (formerly known as the Garden Apartments) is one of the best wildflower trails in Anderson County, according to a Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning news release, but it is threatened by garlic mustard, an invasive exotic that crowds out native plants.

TCWP and Greenways Oak Ridge have been making headway in recent years in ridding the trail of this harmful plant. Volunteers are needed to help with the effort again this year.

Meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 13, at the rear parking lot (near the woods) behind 101-135 W. Vanderbilt Drive. Wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothes and bring water and a digging spike or similar tool if you own one. TCWP members Jamie Herold and Aubrey Sebastian will help with wildflower identification.

The event will end with a pizza lunch at noon.
