Invasive Plant Species Workshop
The majority of Pilcher Park is now a Nature Preserve and with that level of protection, active land management will occur in the park. This workshop will provide information about what land management will be taking place and how you can help by attending. There will be a presentation talking about the invasive plants found in the park and how to identify them along with an active stewardship portion outside in the woods. Loppers and hand saws will be used to remove these invasive plants. If you are interested in helping to improve the health
of the forest, come to this workshop. Dress for the weather. Registration is required. Light refreshments will be available.
