Knockout the Noxious

Do you know the difference between a native and a non-native plant or why the difference even matters? If not, you’re not alone! During this riverside stroll, a naturalist will explain how noxious weeds infiltrate and degrade our ecosystems and point out examples of local invasive plants. You’ll learn how you can help fight invasives, both at home and in your community. Bring a pair of work gloves if you’d like to get started practicing invasive–plant removal at the end of the program!
