Come Learn about Controlling Phragmites (Common Reed)
On Saturday, May 16 at 1:00pm at the Jeudevine Library, Annie D’Alton will explain two simple hand-harvesting methods known to successfully control this highly-invasive (sometimes 10+ feet tall!) grass. Annie is an avid amateur botanist and citizen scientist, currently testing these methods on the shoreline of Nichols Pond.
After the presentation and refreshments, we will try these methods with Annie on a Phragmites population close by on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail.
This event is sponsored by the Hardwick Conservation Commission and welcomes everyone. This event is not sponsored by the Jeudevine library.
