It is always a treat to hear live music at Nature Consortium work parties! The klezmer-esque band of percussion/tuba/clarinet was both lively and moody, perfect for the misty weather. The ample crowd of Squad-regulars did a stellar job with the usual blackberry weeding, including a brush-up on Rubus armeniacus (syn. Rubus discolor) vs. the native trailing blackberry Rubus ursinus (note this link includes a few comparison pics and also includes the noxious Rubus laciniata / cut-leaf evergreen blackberry).
