Not all nonnative plants are invasive, but those that are can have devastating effects on our local ecosystems.

Asiatic bittersweet is one example, wrapping around trees, weakening them, and threatening the forests we love.

🌱 Join us for a FREE Harwood Lecture Series event featuring field botanist Heather Liljengren as we explore what it really means for a plant to be native—and why it matters.

📅 Thursday, November 5 | 6:30 PM
📍 The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens, Washington Depot, CT

But here’s the bigger question: ❓What does it really mean for a plant to be native, and how can the choices we make in our own backyards impact the environment around us?

Join the Washington Environmental Council for Backyard Choices: Good, Better, Best, an engaging evening with field botanist Heather Liljengren, owner of LocalLand Consulting LLC.

With 18 years of professional experience studying native flora throughout the Mid-Atlantic and New England, Heather will help us rethink our landscapes, demystify the meaning of “native,” and explore practical ways to support healthier, more resilient habitats.
