On April 29, Friends of Shenandoah Mountain and five other groups will join forces to protect the Hone Quarry Day Use Area, one of Shenandoah Mountain's premier wildflower sites, from begin overtaken by garlic mustard. This invasive plant crowds out native spring wildflowers and poisons the soil.
For the past two years, we have pulled all the garlic mustard we could find. Each year we find less. We expect to find even less this year.
