Managing invasive species becomes prohibitively costly as an infestation grows. To minimize these costs, many land managers such as Little Traverse Conservancy are attempting to detect infestations early on. But we need more people to help us patrol for these situations. If you have an interest in plants and would like to know how to identify and map invasive plants on LTC preserves, join us on July 7th at Roaring Brook Nature Preserve where LTC’s Derek Shiels will lead a class on invasive plant ID and mapping.
