LINCOLN — Food! Prizes! Exercise! Satisfaction! Please join the Lincoln Conservation Commission on Saturday, June 2, for a roadside invasive pulling party. Wild chervil and poison parsnip are two invasives that have taken up residence in Lincoln but are still limited enough in their distribution to eradicate.
 Meet at the Lincoln sports field pavilion at 9 a.m. Wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, and closed-toed shoes. Bring a water bottle, gloves and a small shovel, if you have them. There will be ID sheets, plus live plants, so you’ll know what to pull. Lunch will be provided from 12-1 p.m. and will feature Vaneasa’s fabulous soup, cornbread and cookies. Please bring your own bowl for the soup.
Handmade mugs, Nancy Stevens’ homemade pie, creemee gift certificates, a hand-crafted wooden cutting board and a pony ride are just a few of the thank-you prizes for participants. Prize markers will be scattered among the patches of roadside exotic that participants will be pulling.
In just a few hours, we made a big impact with last year’s pulling party. Since the seeds remain viable for up to 5 years, we need to keep at it for a few more years. See you there.
