ECOLOGY
LECTURE
SERIES:
INVASIVE AND
NON-NATIVE
PLANTS -
ONLINE
Berkshire
Botanical
Gardens
5 West
Stockbridge
Street
-
Stockbridge, MA (413)
298-3926
A common
topic when
discussing
habitat
health is
invasive and
non-native
species.
Many of us
know some
species that
we would
refer to as
invasive or
non-native.
Many of us
have also
been told
how to think
about or
manage those
species.
However,
rarely do we
discuss what
makes a
plant
invasive or
non-native,
if that
criteria
changed,
what the
data is
currently
showing
about their
presence, if
management
practices
adjusted
with more
data, and
how climate
change is
impacting
our view of
invasive and
non-native
plants.
These are
just a few
of the
questions we
should be
asking. This
lecture will
discuss what
classifies a
plant as
invasive or
non-native
and
introduce
some of
those
questions
about a
subject that
touches all
of our
lives.

AN ACQUIRED
Berkshire
Botanical

5 West

Presented by
Edwina von
Gal,
Principal
Landscape
Designer,
Edwina von
Gal + Co;
Founder/President,
Perfect
Earth
Project; and
Co-founder
of Two
Thirds for
the Birds.
Our
obsession
with tidy,
"clean"
landscapes
is proving
to be
harmful to
the things
and the ones
we love. How
can we step
away from
the need for
‘neat’ and
let nature
play a role
in how we
perceive,
design and
maintain our
human
dominated
lands? The
rewards of
gardening
with nature,
not against
it, are a
fabulous mix
of process
and
perception.
Edwina will
discuss the
reasons why
we need to
change the
way we
garden, the
difference
it can make,
and how to
make it all
happen. Join
her and the
BBG
community in
a
transformative
commitment
to actually
do something
incredibly
effective
about
climate
change and
the loss of
biodiversity.
