Nature Lecture Series: Alien Invaders- Florida's Invasive Plants

For National Invasive Species Awareness Week (NISAW), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Biologist, Michael Sowinski, will be discussing the non-native, invasive plant species found in Florida and what we can do to help stop them from spreading. Join us as we learn about what plants to look out for, what to do if you have them, and how we can plant natives to combat their spread.

This is presentation will be held in Polk's Nature Discovery Center's Workshop from 6:00pm-6:45pm with time for questions and answers to follow. Our local chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society will also be there to share their knowledge and answer questions. So come learn about these "Alien Invaders," and what you can do to stop the spread!
