Invasive Species Project Begins at Alewife
Directed by: Peter Alden Participants: Eagle Eye staff Abdu Saalam Alta Ali and students, Dave Morimoto (Lesley College), Mark Kirk (FAR) Cards characterize patches of invasives. 12 separate species identified at Alewife:
300 green natural bamboo poles were purchased at Mahoneys in Winchester, photocopying onto heavy stock at Staples, 100 sheets of laminating stock to protect signs from water and snow. Youth assembled the signs; 20 signs were erected. There will be more professional signs in future for this kind of project, and may incorporate color art via computer in next round. There's so many invasives there that 300 signs won't be near enough, but its a start. Peter. Anyone wanting to know more about the project or sign on for the long haul, please contact us: Mark, 617 489-7717, 617 547-1944 This page added November 12, 2002 November 29, 2002 update: Invasive Species Program Continues FAR, Lesley College, Eagle Eye Institute and Peter Alden will continue to work on the Reservation for purposes of identification and eventual removal. |
