About the Event

Seabrook is home to NH’s largest, most intact sand dune system, which plays a critical role in protecting the coastline, supporting wildlife and providing valuable habitat. Learning to managing invasive plants will helping preserve this unique ecosystem.

Join Seabrook-Hampton Estuary Alliance and experts from UNH Extension for an interactive workshop on managing invasive plants commonly found in Seabrook's sand dunes.

What you’ll learn:

·     Dune ecology and how humans impact them;

·     How to get started with managing invasive plants;

·     Removal strategies for different plants;


After about an hour and a half of presentations, participants will drive to Seabrook Beach (directions & parking provided) and join the experts for a walk talking through the invasive plants and management strategies in the field.
