Invasive and Native Plant Safari w/ Michael Kopena
2pm-4pm Sunday August 9, 2015 | Wissahickon Valley Park |
This event occurs in the past Exotic alien plants are invading local ecosystems and local native species struggle to stand their ground! See firsthand the difference between a disturbed, invaded woodland and some more naturally balanced areas. Identify problematic exotics, meet some of our treasured native species and find out how you can help at home. Easy-moderate hiking. Sturdy comfortable footwear recommended. Suitable for children 10 and up with a responsible adult. Meet at Kitchen's Lane. Trail Ambassador hikes are free and open to the public. Registration is recommended for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations. Unless otherwise specified, Trail Ambassador hikes may use rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks. Long pants are recommended for protection against occasional poison ivy and possible ticks. Bring water and a snack if desired. Walks are cancelled in heavy rain or icy conditions.
