Learn how to manage your land at Clearpool

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.

In this workshop we will walk you through the steps of managing invasives by exploring:

common species in the Lower Hudson

how to survey invasives and map out a management site

how to remove these harmful species

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.

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
