Identifying Common Invasive Plants


ID : 2281   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Invasive plants overpower native and ornamental species and then spread quickly to starve native plants and animals from sunlight, nutrients, and habitat. This disrupts the biological and ecological network that has developed over millions of years. On this walking tour at Canonchet Farm, learn about the major invasive species found locally, how to identify them, remove them, and maintain removal by replanting the area with native species. Along the trail we will observe the effects of invasive plants in a second growth woodland, and discuss best practices for homeowners in controlling the spread of plants like privet and burning bush. There will be detailed handouts for participants, and an illustrated booklet on invasives given to all participants.
