Trip Report

Not that bad weather can stop us, but we were lucky to have a rain-free morning. The seven of us, under the watchful eye of Sha Cabal (intern and volunteer coordinator, Friends of Buford Park and Mt. Pisgah), removed a bunch of pesky invasive blackberries and picked a few buckets of hawthorn berries in the North Bottomlands near the Buford Park Native Plant Nursery. Thank you Obsidians, for generously sharing your energy and time with the community.
