Invasive exotic plants threaten biodiversity and degrade habitat for wildlife. Spring is a good time to assess the invaders on your property and develop your management plan.  Learn how to identify several commonly encountered types of invasive plants and control their spread with habitat restoration volunteer and Mountain Laurel Chapter President Lydia Pan.  For the past several years, Lydia has led a team of volunteers at Coogan Farm, who work to eliminate or reduce invasive plants at selected sites and replace them with native alternatives that support a diversity of pollinators and wildlife.  A variety of weed control methods will be discussed that homeowners can employ in their own yards.  The program will start with a short talk followed by a walk to see a variety of habitats on the Farm property that are being managed and restored.

Meet at the JX Art Barn.  Program is free but advance registration is required. This program is offered in partnership with the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center at their Coogan Farm campus.
