What is an Example of Invasive Plant Awareness and Management?
GRANBY, CT – A workshop, sponsored by the Salmon Brook Watershed Association,
Granby Conservation Commission, Granby Land Trust, and Holcomb Farm Learning
Center, was held at Holcomb Farm in Granby. The one-day program provided a
classroom introduction to invasive plant issues and an array of management
techniques/approaches, followed by an outdoor session involving identification
of common invasive shrubs and vines, a visit to an area where control had been
implemented, and a hands-on experience in removing Garlic Mustard and other
invasive herbaceous plants along Salmon Brook. Participants received handouts on
invasive plant identification and management, and information on where to obtain
additional copies.
