Ever notice a strange vine growing in your backyard, plants appearing along your hillside or other newcomers to your property? Though they may seem harmless, these plant invaders may negatively impact our communities, forests and water bodies. They can decrease our enjoyment of nature, increase our cost of living and even put our health at risk.
As a landowner, it can be overwhelming to think about starting a management project. You may not know what options are available, how much it will cost or whether the species you’re looking at is harmful in the first place.
This workshop is split between indoor and outdoor experiential learning.
CFE credits will be provided by the Society of American Foresters for attendance to this workshop.
A $25 workshop fee includes morning refreshments and catered lunch. Advance registration is required no later than Thursday, May 16.

Crabapple Hollow Macintosh, “Mac” for short, is among the newest additions to the Green Chimneys Equine Program. Purchased in part through a generous donation from the Parent Association, Mac fulfills the need to carry larger riders in the program. He is an 11-year-old Clydesdale gelding (male) with striking white markings and long, white hair on his legs called “feathers.” Clydesdales originated in Scotland as one of the smaller draft breeds but have been bred to be taller to look more impressive in parades and shows.
