About the Event

Learn to identify Asiatic Bittersweet before it leafs out this spring! Bittersweet is an aggressive invasive plant species present at Highland Farm, and manual removal of the plant is most effective in early spring. We will be following up in an area where the plant has been pulled in the past and has recolonized. How did it get here and why does it need to be removed? What are the best methods of removal? Join us and learn more during this active, hands-on event!

As this event will take place in early spring, it will be rescheduled if the ground has not thawed or if there is still substantial snow. This workday is free and open to the public with registration. Meet in the Highland Farm Parking lot.

What to bring

Participants should come prepared wearing work gloves, closed-toe shoes, long sleeves, and pants, and shoes suitable for hiking. Bring water and layers as needed. Tools and materials will be provided.
