1:00 PM | Virginius Island Walk with park biologist. One-mile, mostly level walk on park trails through spring wildflowers.

2:00 PM | How to (Gently) Fight Plants with Plants: Enlisting vigorous native plants to reclaim habitat. Author Nancy Lawson. What’s to love about native plants that grow “like weeds”? Everything! Many species valuable to birds, bees and other wildlife lie dormant in the seedbank, just waiting to escape the mower and sprout. In this presentation, we’ll discuss how to recruit these hardy troopers to help reclaim habitat. We’ll also explore strategies for removing problematic nonnatives without harming wildlife and their habitats in the process. We’ll learn about many native groundcovers, shrubs, wildflowers, vines and trees that can help hold ground, as well as methods of gradual replacement that eventually shift the balance toward more wildlife-friendly, native-plant-filled habitats.
