Maurer will cover aquatic invasive species identification, known locations, prevention, integrated pest management, and the idea of human tolerance of invasive species. She will have several specimens available. Guests can bring specimens of their own “mystery plants” for identification. If she doesn’t know what it is – she’ll find out!
