DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1680794568943{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1722868890785{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nThis event is co-sponsored\nby Everyone Outside | Flora & Friends | Coginchaug Outdoor Enrichment Center\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1722267378365{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Join us at the Rockfall Forest in Middlefield\, CT\, for an Educational Invasive Plant Workshop and Cleanup Party.  \nYou will learn how to identify and remove some of the more aggressive invasives in our state: garlic mustard\, barberry\, Asian bittersweet\, honeysuckle\, privet\, autumn olive\, Japanese knotweed\, multiflora rose\, and winged euonymus (burning bush)\, to name a few. \nWhat to Bring: Bring clippers and gloves if you have them; a limited supply will be available. Tick repellant is suggested. \nBonus: You will have a chance to sample some invasive plant recipes. \nWhat are Invasive Plants?  \nUCONN’s Invasive Plants Council best describes invasive plants as “non-native plants that are disruptive in a way that causes environmental or economic harm or harm to human health. In minimally managed areas\, invasive plants crowd out native plants. The presence of invasive plants alters how plants\, animals\, soil\, and water interact within native ecosystems\, often causing harm to other species in addition to the plants that have been crowded out.” \nLocation: Meet at 9:45 in the Middlefield Memorial School parking lot\, 124 Hubbard St\, Middlefield\, CT.
