Conservation biologist Joe Roman will present his lively illustrated program, “Eat the Invaders: Fighting Invasive Species One Bite at a Time” this Friday, April 25th at 7:00 p.m. at the Starksboro Village Meeting House. All are welcome to come to this free event to learn about some of the invasive species in our area and what we can do to thwart them and perhaps even eat them! Bring a cushion or blanket for your seat, if you like. Refreshments will be served following the presentation.

The presentation is co-hosted by the Meeting House, the Starksboro Historical Society, Conservation Commission, Public Library, and the Lewis Creek Association. The Starksboro Village Meeting House, built in 1838-40 in the Gothic Revival style, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Donations to support the Meeting House restoration project are always welcome.

His research interests range from endangered species policy, marine mammals, and biodiversity and human health. He has made presentations all over the country, and is author of Listed: Dispatches from America’s Endangered Species Act, winner of a 2012 Rachel Carson Environment Book Award, and Whale.
