!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

 

The trails of Lyme Land Trust preserves are enjoyed by many, including some of the most ecologically damaging invasive plant species in our region. Ashwini Sahasrabudhe and Jim Arrigoni will discuss the impacts of these unwelcome guests to forest health, describe the patterns of their infestation based on two months of field research, and address how LLT will use this information to inform management options. This presentation promises to be eye-opening for those who hike the trails of Lyme, and will be useful for anyone wishing to address invasive plant issues on land they own or manage.

Ashwini is an intern for LLT and  a rising junior at Bowdoin College, majoring in environmental studies and biology, and Jim is LLT’s environmental director.
