Invasive species are plants that are too good at making themselves at home. They can be native or non-native. They reproduce quickly and can make it hard for other species to survive.

After our brief lesson about invasive species we went for a walk. Some of the species we were fortunate to see included:
Cedar Waxwing
Yellow Warbler
Song Sparrow
Tree Swallow
Great Blue Heron
Leopard Frogs
Turkey Vulture
American Robin

See you in September!
