It is in the process of bei= ng restored to grassland after being leased for 10 years to a local farm fo= r growing corn. It will take a couple of years for native grasses to get es= tablished, but there is already good early growth and spread, with some oth= er native plants sprinkled in. Unfortunately, purple loosestrife is filling= in some of the wet edges, mixed with cattails and other more desirable spe= cies, but the overall improved biodiversity of the site is encouraging. 3 Cabbage White7 Clouded Sulphur2 Orange Sulphur1 Great Spangled Fritillary= 1 Viceroy7 Monarch Wendy Howes & Alan RawleHardwick --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= MassLep" group.
