Invasive Plants Workshop Sunday!

Do you have ticks in your yard? Are vines strangling your trees?  Invasive species may be to blame!

Join the City of Middletown and Town of Durham for an interactive workshop on invasive plants.

Sunday, June 231-3 PMSnow School, 299 Wadsworth St.

At the workshop, led by DEEP wildlife biologist Pete Picone, you’ll learn which species are invasive, why they’re a problem, how to remove them safely and effectively, and what plants you can replace invasive species with native plants for a healthy yard.  For the second hour, we’ll have gloves and bags for optional invasive plant removal.  Please wear long pants and long sleeves.

Questions? Contact Michael Harris, City Energy Coordinator, at michael.harris@middletownct.gov or at 860-638-4854.

This event is co-sponsored by Coginchaug Area Transition, Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District, Everyone Outside, The Jonah Center for Earth and Art, Middletown Garden Club, and Wesleyan Sustainability Office.
