“Fourteen Years with LH PRISM, 14 Invasives: Canadian Thistle” Workshop
Sunday, May 18, 2025 09:30 AM - 12:00 PM
This year represents a 14-year mark and important cornerstone regarding JHC's work on environmental conservation. We are celebrating this important milestone by setting a new goal with our valuable partners, LH Prism. "Fourteen years, fourteen invasives" will focus on targeting 14 invasive species through management projects that will be built into 14 workshops in the JHC's programming, as part of our Native Protection Series. Director of Horticulture Lucia Maestro will be leading this hands-on practice workshop series designed to understand the importance of native species protection, through invasive species education and control. Invasive species like multiflora rose, wineberry, mugwort, Japanese knotweed, porcelain berry and Japanese honeysuckle will be targeted and removed by hand in several areas to protect other native species; learn how to properly identify and remove them. Bring long pants, sunscreen and bug spray, water and snacks. Work gloves will be provided. Please be aware that poison ivy, ticks and other insects may be present in the area as we will be working off-path. Open to young adults, adults. In the event of rain this workshop may be cancelled or rescheduled. Please email Lucia Maestro (hortdirector.jhc@gmail.com) for more information!
