Jim, could you pass this along to the SQWC list serve?  Last year we had
several people come from that group.

Thanks, Ryan

Colleagues:

On Saturday, April 7, 1-4 p.m., the Outdoor Teaching Lab (OTL) Committee is sponsoring a "Death to garlic mustard" day at one of ISU's premier woodlands, Reactor Woods.  We'll meet in the parking lot of the Ames YMCA at 1 p.m.  You'll receive instruction in how to identify and remove it and plastic bags to put it in.  The person removing the most garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) will be eligible to receive fabulous prizes  (the decision of the judges is final)  plus the unending thanks of the OTL Committee and future generations of woods walkers.

To get to Reactor Woods, go west on Ontario to Scholl Rd.  Turn north on Scholl, cross the RR tracks, turn east (right) on the second road to the right.  Travel down it until it dead ends in the parking lot (200-300 yards).  Please carpool or ride your bike--parking is very limited.  If you don't have a ride or fear you'll get lost in the wilds of western Ames, you can catch a shuttle van from 1-2 p.m. that will leave from the Bessey Hall loading dock.

Since we'll be hand pulling this invasive, please bring gloves.  Since we'll be bending over, loosen up your lower back ahead of time.  Since it may rain, wear appropriate clothing--we'll pull anyway, rain or shine.  And, since this is an OTL-sponsored event, come prepared to have fun, too!  Grunts, growls, and shouts of glee are all appropriate as we take back the woods for natives!

Please spread the word to student clubs and other students through your classes.

Jim Pease, Chair

Outdoor Teaching Labs Committee
