Identifying and Managing Invasive Plants on Your Land

Sunday, October 2

10 AM – 3 PM

Button Farm, Colchester

Honeysuckle, barberry, and buckthorn are a few of the non-native plants invading Vermont’s forests. Join WOW team members Caitlin Cusack and Lisa Sausville for an interactive workshop that will introduce you to these invasive plant species! We will spend the morning learning how to identify around 10 of the most common invasive plants, and a couple not-so-common ones. In the afternoon we will explore different management methods and hear about a long-term project at VLT’s Button Farm to restore native plants to the field and forest. We’ll wrap up the day with an opportunity to get your hands dirty testing out different techniques that you can use on your own land. Come ready to share your own tips, tricks or questions. Click here to learn more and register.
