About this Event

A stealthy catastrophe is happening in regional spaces that are suffering from the spread of invasive plants. VCE Master Naturalist Tracy Melton will tell you about large and small scale invasive species removal projects. You'll learn about the serious negative impact of invasives, and how to identify and remove these plants from your own property to help prevent further spread that will affect our local ecoregion. Tracy's presentation includes information about Japanese stiltgrass, Japanese honeysuckle, autumn olive, mahonia, wineberry, Chinese privet, wisteria, and tree-of-heaven.


Tracy Matthew Melton is a member of the Historic Rivers Chapter of the VCE Master Naturalist program. Over the last five years, he has spent more than 2000 hours removing invasive plants from woods on the William & Mary campus and 30+ acres of Port Anne common land on historic and environmentally critical College Creek.


WBG-FPA Members have Priority Registration until 9 am on the Saturday one week before the program, when registration goes public and opens to non-members.

  • Seating is limited to 48 and each person must register separately. You may use the same email address to register another attendee BUT make sure the name is different from your first registration so we have an accurate check-in list at the door. If you register the same name twice, we will consider it a duplicate and expect only one person.
  • If your plans change after you register, PLEASE let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your spot to the waiting list.

Learn and Grow programs are free, but we suggest a donation at the door of $5 per person to help fund the Garden's annual operating expenses of over $25,000. Remember... we receive no funding from any government agency, so we depend on your generosity.


NOTE: Your registration for this program will add your email address to the Garden's eNews list if you're not on it already. We usually send emails 1 or 2 times a month to let you know about upcoming programs and other Garden news.

The Garden's privacy policy is simple: We never share your information with any third party for any reason. You may opt out at any time. Our eNews is sent through Constant Contact. NOTE: if you unsubscribe, you will remove yourself from ALL emails sent by the WBG-FPA.


In-person Learn and Grow seminar programs are held at the Freedom Park Interpretive Center. If you have never been to Freedom Park, be sure to visit the Garden! See the map below for directions and parking notes.
