Plant Irises at BREC Blackwater Conservation Area

Plant Irises at BREC Blackwater Conservation Area 

 

Wednesday, October 7,  8 to 11 am
BREC Blackwater Conservation Area

In an effort to restore the natural habitat to this former gravel excavation area, volunteers will be planting four varieties of irises: Copper Iris, Giant Blue Iris, Zigzag Iris, and Nelson’s Water Iris. The morning will begin with a short information session.  Planting will be in muddy areas, so boots, gloves and blue jeans will be necessary.
In the Spring everyone will enjoy the iris blooms which will be an obvious sign that the area is returning to its natural beauty.
Paperwork and a background check are required of BREC volunteers.
