Identifying plants can be hard. Differentiating between an invasive plant and a native plant in the winter when neither has leaves is even harder!
Join us as we sharpen our stewardship skills and familiarize ourselves with some common invasive woody plants. We will look at buds, twigs, bark, shape and more as we train our eyes to decipher friend from foe during the quickly ending winter dormancy. We will also share some management techniques to help WLT and backyard stewards alike.
This workshop will start with a brief presentation indoors followed by a short walk around Barlow Nature Preserve where we will get some hands-on experience identifying native and invasive plants.
Parking is available in the main parking lot at Barlow Nature Preserve, with overflow parking in the field behind the outbuildings to the east (up the farm road).
