Remove Invasives Partnership (RIP) of Franklin County invites the public to attend a workshop about invasive pest plants at 232 Lyons Drive on Saturday, March 16 from 9-11:30am. 

Invasive plants can kill trees and other native vegetation and create unattractive, inaccessible surroundings.  Residents can promote habitat for birds and pollinators by learning how to remove invasive plants.

Participants will be identifying problem plants, learning effective removal techniques, and working to clear a wooded area along a stream.  Participants should come dressed for the weather and prepared to work.

Kids activities and refreshments provided.  Families welcome!  Preregistration is encouraged.  Visit www.ripfc.net for more information.
