Seth Wilkinson ’99 to speak about invasive plants

Seth Wilkinson ’99, Conway School Trustee and founder/principal of Seth Wilkinson '99Wilkinson Ecological Design, will be presenting a lecture on March 7th entitled “Invasive Plants: Just Too Overwhelming?” The lecture is part of a
series sponsored by Grow Native Massachusetts held the first Wednesday
of the month at the Cambridge (MA) Public Library from February through
June. Lectures are free and open to the public.

As stated in their notice, “Invasive plants can cause catastrophic habitat loss and pose an imminent threat to the rare plants and botanical heritage of our  Commonwealth. Managing these species can be costly, complicated and overwhelming. The most effective strategies are always the result of a clear and organized plan, whether you are responsible for
400 square feet or 40 acres. Join us for an interactive presentation that explores why and how to tackle this challenge, including invasive plant protocols and treatment strategies. Seth Wilkinson is a widely respected expert in ecological restoration.”

Wilkinson Ecological Design’s mission is to protect and restore the integrity and biodiversity of the unique natural ecosystems of Cape Cod, the Islands, and Eastern Massachusetts through the use of safe and effective invasive plant management techniques and the restoration and establishment of native plant communities.
