Rewild Yarmouth 2024
This past Spring was the second annual Rewild Yarmouth initiative. This year, there were two events focused on sustainable landscaping and volunteers planted native plants and shrubs at two locations (Royal River Park and the entrance to Frank Knight Forest). A YHS student also designed yard signs for people to place in their own gardens and spread the word about using our landscapes for good.
In May, volunteers created a native, pollinator-friendly garden space at the entrance to Frank Knight Forest in the Community Garden space. The space was cleared of invasive bittersweet and replanted with native shrubs and flowers, such as Summersweet, Dogwood, and Beebalm, which will naturalize in the space. The rocks were cleared to be a more inviting space for kids to play and explore the new plants as they grow! If you're at the Community Garden, also check out the area to the right as you drive in. You'll notice that Parks and Lands crews have cleared the area of invasive trees and vines and planted native trees and shrubs in their place.
