On February 16, 2024, from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at the Shrewsbury Library, the SCC will host VT Fish and Wildlife biologist Travis Hart to share his expertise on a variety of ways to get rid of those pesky, harmful, and downright difficult to remove invasive plants that might be lurking on your property.

Travis is a native Vermonter raised in Wells and living in Poultney. Travis has worked on various conservation related projects throughout Vermont involving invasive plant mapping, natural community mapping, stream geomorphic assessments, urban forestry inventories, and locating and monitoring summer maternity colonies for little brown bats. He works for Vermont Fish and Wildlife as a Habitat Specialist. He covers Addison, Bennington, Rutland and manages state lands in the Rutland District.

Travis will discuss common invasive plant species and how to identify them. He will go through some of the various methods for removal/treatment, including both manual/mechanical and herbicide treatments. He'll discuss the proper timing and effective planning strategies for invasive control as well as the impacts of invasive plants on wildlife and forest health and production.
