In July, Nature Center staff Linda and Charlene participated in a special program to release beetles which are meant to eat Purple Loosestrife. Although Loosestrife is pretty, it’s not native and it’s choking out our native wetland plants. Below are photos from that adventure.
Friends are anxious to go into the field and check on results of this release. Below you can see Friend’s President, Rick Marshall inspecting the “bug progress” in August.
