Together with our friends from the Rockfall Foundation and Swamp Yankee Earthcare, we invite you to Rockfall Forest in Middlefield, CT, for an Invasive Plants Workshop on Saturday, September 13 at 10:00 am.

Learn how to identify and remove invasive species such as multiflora rose, barberry, bittersweet, mugwort, Japanese knotweed, and burning bush.

After a brief demonstration, we’ll head into Rockfall Forest to get hands-on experience removing these plants.

What to bring: Closed-toe shoes, tick repellant, work gloves, clippers, loppers, or other tools. Some tools will be available to borrow.

Rain date: Sunday, September 14.

Location: Rockfall Forest via Memorial Middle School parking lot (124 Hubbard St., Middlefield), behind the tennis courts.

This event is co-sponsored by the Rockfall Foundation, Swamp Yankee Earthcare, and the Middlesex Land Trust.
