In Our Latest Issue

The March 2020 issue leads off with a roundup of changes for the wildflower outings — which are hikes now, not walks. Other highlights of the issue:

• Those new fences: Why they were built, and how a “dreadfully imposing barricade” was averted at the 11th hour.
• Seed was sown at Edgewood Farms for the Green Grass project, the goal of which is to increase native plants in the grasslands.
• A close look at Edgewood plants turns up numerous types of galls, including a “woody apple” formed when a wasp lays its eggs on an oak.
• Warrior’s plume has made its 2020 debut at the park, its bright red flower clusters an elegant design for attracting pollinators.
• And much more!
