Garlic Mustard Pick and Pull at the Harry Day Preserve

Help us pull invasive garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) in the Harry Day Preserve! Looking for a fun outdoor activity for the long weekend? Enjoy a long stroll in the preserve, remove this rambunctious weed, and save the leaves for families in need.

We'll be donating the garlic mustard leaves to The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County right here in Stamford. Did you know that you can cook delicious meals like pasta with this flavor-packed herb? SLCT Interim President Marina Pia DeLuca will be leading this educational event.

We'll meet at 10am at the entrance to Harry Day Preserve, and head into the SLCT’s newest preserve from there. Parking is available at Newman Mills Park for those with permits, and on Fawnfield Road (¼ mile south of the preserve entrance) with no permit required. If you arrive late to the event, please reach out to Marina.
