Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Walnut Hill Garden Club of
Hanover invites the public to attend a free lecture and slide show regarding
“Invasive Alien Plants of the South Shore” on Tuesday, February
3rd, 7:30 – 9:00 p.m., at the Phoenix Masonic Lodge on Broadway in
Hanover. As you drive north on Route 3, have you noticed trees covered
and choked by messy looking vines? Are burning bush seedlings popping up in
your back lot unplanted? During his slide show, Peter Alden will
demonstrate where alien plants come from, how they arrived here, how they
continue to spread, and why we should be concerned about them. Learn how
to identify invasive plants and how we can limit their spread in wild areas and
our gardens here on the South Shore.
Peter Alden is a world renowned
naturalist, lecturer, ecotourism guide and author of 15 books on North American
and African wildlife, including the National Audubon Society’s Regional Field Guide Series. A highly
entertaining and widely sought after lecturer on topics that include world
wildlife, the polar regions, invasive plants and biodiversity of the northeast,
he is considered an authority on birds and larger mammals.
Mr. Alden’s lecture is
open to the public, but seating is limited. For a reservation, please contact
Louise Sironi at 781-826-8421 or e-mail walnuthillma@hotmail.com .
