Presentation: “Local Flooding Events and How They Help Spread Invasive Plants”

With the increase of major weather events in the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley, we have seen a connection to the spread of invasive plant species. We will discuss what that relationship is and how we can prevent the spread during flooding events.

This event is being organized by the Special Interest: Water Garden Group.
