The Ecological Landscaping Association will sponsor a free educational event on Wednesday, May 29, from 6 – 8, at Cold Spring Park, 1200 Beacon Street in Newton, entitled Invasive Plants: What are They? And What Can Be Done? Invasive plant species damage the lands and waters that native plants and animals need to survive. What are they and what harm do they do to the ecosystem? Newton native and ELA Board member Bruce Wenning is an invasive plant specialist. During visits to Cold Spring Park, Bruce discovered that several types of invasive plants are present and spreading along the trails. Join Bruce for a professionally guided walking tour at Cold Spring Park to learn how to identify several different types of invasive plants spread and what removal methods are effective on each. Bruce will also discuss the important topic of how to properly dispose of invasive plants once removed. Registrations are limited – for more information call 617-436-5838 or email ela.info@comcast.net. You may register on line at https://www.eventville.com/catalog/eventregistration1.asp?eventid=1010424.
