Plant This, Not That!
The Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Warren County is pleased to offer a 3-part workshop series to educate the public about the dangers of invasive weeds to the ecosystem and how to identify them. As part of the series, a presentation on Native Plants will be offered, followed by the distribution of native plant seedlings to participants, so that they can be planted at home in hopes of replacing existing invasive weeds. The presentations will be offered through an online platform, and native seedling distribution will take place in person. Pre-registration is required and the cost for the program is $25 per person.
