Facilitator: Heather McCune Bruhn, PhD, Assistant Teaching Professor of Art History

Discuss problems associated with invasive plants and their effect on the native ecosystem and some creative ways to eliminate these plants. Papermaking is one way to make use of these invasives and garden waste in general. In the case of edible invasive plants, it’s also possible to cook them! Some food made from invasive garlic mustard as a snack might be shared.
