Relocalizing VT Thursday: Are "Invasives" Frenemies?

Past event
Jun 8, 2017, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - Finding the good qualities in plants like Japanese knotweed and bush honeysuckle that move into new areas and spread rapidly. Plus a preview of the big Mother Earth News Fair at the Champlain Valley Expo this Saturday and Sunday.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Next Wednesday, June 14, AmeriCorps member Rebecca Harris and a colleague will hold a presentation about terrestrial invasive plant species found in Vermont and how permaculture principles can be applied to make use of the plants and to manage their spread. Plus permaculture teacher Jono Neiger, who battled aggressive species early in his career, will tell why he came to question the whole concept of an “invasive" species.
