Wanted! Dead or Dead. Invasive Species on Your Property

From West Cook Wild Ones:

Ever wonder-what's an invasive species and why do they get such negative attention? Can a plant really be so bad? In fact, invasive plants are the genuine badies of the conservation world. Wyatt Widmer, Preserve Steward of Wolf Road Prairie, will explain it all! Please read his description for more details.

Wyatt's Words on Wanted! Dead or Dead:

Your guide to understanding the concept of invasive species, what "invasive" means in context, how that changes over time and space, what invasive species you should look out for, and how you can help mitigate the spread of invasive species and their extinction-causing destruction.

This virtual meeting will be held via Zoom. You will receive a link to attend two days before the meeting.
