Participated in the Nine Mile Run Watershed Association's "Socially Distanced Mugwort Pull" today. Nice to see a few of my fellow Pennsylvania Master Naturalists there! Also joining us was a family of four, an urban land steward, and we even picked up a volunteer who was walking by and decided to join in after finding out what we were doing.

The event was from 10am to noon, and when we arrived there, the fog had just burned off. The ground was still wet from yesterday's rain, which made pulling the mugwort out at the roots much easier. Man there was a lot of it! Attached are before and after photos of the section I attacked. After pulling what we could, we also planted echinacea, lobelia, and...something else. All in all it was a good event, and it was certainly nice to get out and do something beneficial.

Will be looking forward to more of these events!
