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.

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.
