WILLSBORO — For the last four years, the Adirondack Chapter of The Nature Conservancy — along with private land owners, local government leaders and volunteers — has worked to transform more than 100 acres in Willsboro into an accessible nature preserve.
The Adirondack Garden Club, which has been around for nearly a century under various names, had about 20 members on hand at the preserve to help pull invasive buckthorn and bush honeysuckle. Each can crowd out native plants and may even increase the number of ticks because of microclimates created under and around the plants.
