The Dummerston and Guilford Conservation Commissions invite you to an invasive plant workshop:
Working with Contractors on Invasive Plant Management
Saturday, May 17
9:00am-12:00noon
If you are a landowner looking for ways to control invasive plants or simply interested in learning more about the spread of these plants, this workshop is designed for you.
9:00-10:00am — Indoor Presentation
Grange Hall, 1006 East-West Road, Dummerston Center
Windham County Forester Bill Guenther will give an overview of invasive plant issues in our region.
Antioch graduate student Andrew Morrison will discuss his invasive plant research and share information about how each of us as landowners and citizens can play a role in larger efforts to map invasive plants and build scientific understanding.
10:30am-12:00noon — Field Walks
626 and 690 Rice Farm Road, Dummerston
Contractors Dan Healey and Chris Polatin will discuss their work as invasive plant managers using a variety of control measures (including judicious use of chemicals) on a visit to two private properties with invasive plant infestations. They will address planning, mapping, prioritization, funding, and monitoring of various control activities, along with restoration planning for native plant communities.
