We cordially invite all local residents and community members to embark on a journey of ecological discovery as we delve into the world of invasive species, with a particular focus on European buckthorn and garlic mustard, and explore the myriad benefits that native pollinator plants offer to our environment. Join us in this enlightening and engaging event designed to deepen our understanding of our local ecosystem and inspire positive action for its preservation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your connection with nature, understand the importance of native plants, and take action to combat invasive species.
