Got Invasive Plants? Who Are You Gonna' Call?

Warm weather and above-average rainfall made 2024 a big year for lush plant life. Unfortunately, too many of those healthy plants were uninvited, unwanted, non-native invasive plants. It’s also been a big year for the Connecticut Invasive Plants Working Group. Among other news, the biannual CIPWG symposium is scheduled for October 29, 2024, at Storrs, CT.
