New York Invasive Species Awareness Week – NYISAW
Backyard Botanical Bothers
Wednesday July 13th, 2016 – 11am – 1pm – 108 East Third Street, Jamestown
What are those green things growing in your neighborhood, and what’s living on them? Are they native to this area or are they invasive pests? What does it matter? Meet us in front of RTPI’s new satellite office at 108 East Third Street, to learn a thing or two about ‘Backyard Botanical Bothers’ – specifically which plants and insects mean trouble for our ecosystem – and what you can do if you encounter them. RTPI’s Project Wild America Youth Ambassadors will share information on several invasive species, and our staff will offer a few ‘tasteful solutions’ for dealing with problem plants.
