Got the buckthorn blues? Feeling hopeless about Hesperis? Are you frustrated by frog-bit? Then this one’s for you! As environmentalists and stewards, our news feeds are full of dire predictions about climate change, politics, and biodiversity, and many of us can’t even escape for a walk in the woods without noticing multiflora rose or garlic mustard. Yet there is much joy and hope to be found in working on invasive species issues. This is a frontier on which seemingly small, individual actions can have outsized positive impacts, and everyone has the potential to learn, share, and make a difference. When we work collectively on invasive species challenges, the effects can be utterly transformative. You’ll have a chance to ask questions and share your own invasive species success stories during this interactive session.
