We are celebrating the retirement of Claire Elliott, Grassroots Ecology’s very own tirelessly dedicated and enthusiastic employee of 17 years!

By Claire Elliott, Senior Ecologist

You may know that Grassroots Ecology’s team has worked for many years to restore habitat in our local parks and preserves. But, did you know we also have projects designed to support nature in our cities? Invasive ornamentals and edibles are a big problem. Three that I am on constant vigil for are Mexican feather grass, Algerian ivy and glossy privet.
