Invasion Ecology

with Dan Lazar

Wednesday, June 10 | 1 – 3pm

BRN - Core | BREG - Elective

Invasive species such as Kudzu, Bradford Pear, and Multiflora Rose have become prominent features of the Blue Ridge landscape. During an illustrated lecture and brief walk on the Arboretum grounds, we will discuss how these and other non-native species ranging from animals to plants to microscopic organisms have been introduced and found a home in the Blue Ridge Bioregion.

This program takes place in the classroom and outdoors. Please come prepared to walk on gentle, yet uneven terrain, and dress appropriately for the weather.

Dan Lazar served for many years as the director of education at the Western North Carolina Nature Center, followed by several years as executive director of the Colburn Earth Science Museum. Dan has a degree in forest biology from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and has been an instructor in the Blue Ridge Naturalist program since 2005.
