The 19th Annual Frances Litten Botanical Lecture

February 18 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Invasive Plants, Biodiversity Loss, and Climate: Restoring Our Natural World One Vine at a Time

What do western wildfires, plant blindness, and mass extinctions have in common? The complex — and controversial — world of invasive plants. Over 30,000 plant species have been introduced into North America since 1492, and unfortunately some do not play nicely with others. In this talk we’ll explore the impacts of invasive plants on wildflowers, pollinators, birds, and forests; and the difference you can make right in your own garden.
