Thinking Thursday Walk & Talk: “Invasive Plant Species”

Thursday, March 1
10 a.m. to noon
1.5 -2.5 miles mildly hilly trails

Join Karen Cowperthwaite, licensed landscape architect, and Michele MacKinnon, advanced master gardener, at Deer Pond Farm for a guided walk along trails during National Invasive Species Awareness Week to learn about the non-native plant species that have been introduced in Connecticut. We will examine why certain plants are labeled invasive, the impact they have on our native plant species and the harm that is caused to our bird and other wildlife habitats. Information regarding managing and controlling invasive plants will also be presented.

Dress for the weather. Think head, hands and feet! Wool hats, gloves and socks are a really good choice for outdoor fun. Inclement weather cancels. Bring binoculars, camera and a sense of adventure.
