Civic Projects – Invasive Plants Removal Party @ Spice Bush Swamp Park
Jul 15 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, July 15, 2023, from 9 am – 12 noon for an invasive plants removal party with your Civic Projects Committee. If you are interested, please text, email, or call Beth Ann so that she can plan accordingly. She will have handouts, and guided instruction will be provided. Many of you joined us last year, so you will need only a little review. More information will follow soon about best attire, gear to bring, and more.

As you know, invasive plants are non-native species that spread aggressively in natural areas. Invasive plants have replaced native species in many different habitats in Connecticut. When native plants are displaced in the landscape, the diversity of native birds, insects, other animals, and plants may be decreased and ecosystem functions may suffer.

We have one more invasive plant removal party on the calendar for November 4, 2023, from 9 am – 12 noon.
