The Carbon County Environmental Education Center is planning a seminar on invasive plant species for Saturday at 10 a.m.

Volunteer Naturalist Mike Gogal will begin with a virtual tour of some of the area’s most damaging invasive plants. Participants will learn to identify common species, as well as how and when to best remove them.

“If it were as simple as just pulling weeds, these plants wouldn’t be a problem,” said CCEEC’s Susan Gallagher. “There are different times and techniques that work best for different plants. You need a strategy and that’s what this program offers.”

After the lecture, participants who wish to do so will explore the trails near CCEEC for hands-on experience, removing invasives and benefiting surrounding habitats.

Work gloves and pruners will be available or participants may bring their own. Light refreshments are offered afterward.

The program will be rescheduled in case of rain.

To register or for more information, call CCEEC at 570-645-8597.

CCEEC is located at 151 East White Bear Drive, Summit Hill.
