Why do we care about invasive plants? This is an excellent event for those who wish to learn how to enhance wildlife habitat by controlling invasives in our nature preserves and in their own backyards. Join the Lyme Open Space Coordinator Wendy Hill to learn how to identify and remove invasive plant species that are crowding out our native plants. 

We will tackle invasive Autumn Olive and other invasive plants in the right-of-way.

Bring heavy duty work gloves, loppers, clippers, pruners, and Mattocks. Please wear long pants.Bring a bottle of water for yourself. Snacks will be provided. Inclement weather cancels.

Registration appreciated (walk-ins welcome): openspace@townlyme.org 

The Powerline Right of Way entrance is about 1/3 mile north of the Hartman park main entrance.
