Ever wondered what the big deal is about invasive plants, how they got here in the first place, and how they harm local ecosystems? In this program, attendees will learn about the plants that are disturbing natural ecosystems and replacing the native vegetation that makes Maine unique and supports diverse wildlife, including birds and insects. Attendees will learn identification features for key invasive terrestrial plants in our area and explore control & prevention strategies. Attendees are encouraged to bring samples of plants from their property for identification – please make sure samples are secured in a plastic zip-lock bag. This free program is presented by Louisa Crane, Program Development Specialist for the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District in partnership with the Appleton Historic Society.
