Invasive species are the biggest “pollutant” in natural spaces. Our invasive species class discusses several exotic plant species and how they affect animal and plant habitats in Grand Rapids parks, as well as how we as people use our parks. (Did you know some invasive species harbor ticks that spread Lyme Disease?) This indoor class will also explore strategies for managing invasive species—and all the benefits that happen when you do!
