Come join the Director of Land Stewardship, Brent Boscarino, for a circa 2-mile guided invasive species identification walk in Harriman State Park to brush up on your field ID skills. Target species we will find and see in person: Border privet, northern spicebush, sassafras, Wisteria, beech/beech leaf disease.
