Dunwoody Nature Forest Restoration Update 10/22

Now that we are almost complete with our invasive removal, we will begin over the next few months (once it rains!) to plant natives to allow them to grow for next spring. Nature hates a vacuum and we plan plant invasive natives to out compete the nasties. The common blue violet will planted on the lower hillside near the fallen trees to crowd out the Japanese stiltgrass. Next spring we should have a patch of these, and with any luck we will attract one of Georgia’s native butterflies, the great spangled fritillary as the violet is its only source of food.

Join us the second Saturday of each month at the DNC to help us restore the forest, learn a little more about Georgia native plants, and get some great exercise. Plus learn how to attract butterflies to your yard!
