This is a great way to learn what plants are invasive. So many of them look similar to non-invasive plants, it can get confusing.

If you love the River Valley and want to know more about what plants are growing there the Invasive Plant Outreach Program's W**d ID Walk Series is for you!

Starting June 18, we will host monthly walks in parks around the City. We will share information about native and invasive plants, and actions you can take to SPOT, REPORT and REMOVE invasive plants on your own!
