Invasive Plant Management / "Barberrians"  We seek out and destroy destructive invasive plants, ripping them out by their nasty little roots. We focus on garlic mustard May-June. Mid-summer through fall we take out woody shrubs including barberry (hence the name "Barberrians") per the plan written in conjunction with Jennifer Windus of the Ohio Invasive Plant Council  and the Ohio Natural Preserves Association. ​Barberry removal requires preparation and sign off on the instructions which are here.
