Want to help save a wetland? Help keep invasive shrubs out of this beautiful fen ecosystem. We need to scout out the invasive shrubs living amongst the native ones, so we need some well trained eyes. If you're not sure how to identify these invasive shrubs, don't worry, we'll pair you us with someone who is! Meet at the southeast corner of Glenn and Mt. Hope Roads. ***Waterproof boots, either knee-high rubber boots or hip waders, are recommended for this site.
