Want to make a difference for wildlife by managing the vegetation in your surroundings? Join DEEP Wildlife Biologist Peter Picone as he shares tips and strategies for managing invasive, non-native plants and enhancing your gardens with the addition of native plants. You will leave this talk prepared with practical knowledge and tips on creating a more biologically diverse area and the ability to make a difference for wildlife from monarch butterflies to wild turkeys.

Managing invasive plants often is one of the key land conservation tasks of Land Trust stewards when we acquire a property. Recent efforts have focused on Hawk Hill Farm where invasive plants are encroaching upon champion trees. The more volunteers, neighbors, and residents who undertake similar efforts across town, the better it is for all of us!
