Stop the Invasion!
Identify Invasive Plant Species
Learn How to Control Them
In early spring you are filled with joy to see that first little green sprig - finally something alive! But within months, that tiny hopeful bit of green is a 7-foot behemoth: Japanese Knotweed.
Dreaming of those rustic cottagecore images of perfect little orange berries, you plant Bittersweet, assured by the garden center that it’s the non-invasive type. Maybe you buy dried bittersweet for garland or wreaths, then throw that into your compost pile. Before you know it, you have a sky-high vine strangling one of your massive oak trees.
If you’re spending your summertime fighting the invasion, come to the Library as the Hampton Falls Conservation Commission and experts in the field come together to give you the tools and armor you need for early detection, methods of eradication, and hope in seeing a future clear of invading species, rather than feeling like you’re Alice stuck in Wonderland.
Free and open to the public. Sign up to receive email reminders.
