As the weather continues to warm and we spend more and more time outdoors, your Conservation Team would like to share some tips for addressing invasive species in and around your properties: bit.ly/Dedham-Garlic-Mustard

What is Garlic Mustard?
Garlic Mustard is an invasive plant that spreads rapidly, growing in dense colonies, and is not consumed by local wildlife.

Great news is...you can remove it! Watch this step-by-step video, starring Conservation Agent Meredith and Environmental Specialist Chris as they show you the easy and effective way to remove these plants.

This and other resources are available on our website at www.dedham-ma.gov/conservation under "Resources".
