Join the Friends group along with the Upper Sugar River Watershed, South Central Invasive Species Partnership, and the Prairie Enthusiasts for this education event about invasive species along the trail.

This event will begin at the Monticello Public Library with an introduction to native and invasive species and how to identify them. The event will move to the trails for a scavenger hunt and hike.

Learn how to identify invasive species like parsnip and buckthorn. We will be discussing best practice for managing invasive species, and the impact of invasive species on the trail ecosystem, endangered plants, and bird life.
