Replacing Non-Native Plants with Native Plants-How You Can Help Preserve Nature and Wildlife

Sun., October 25, 2-3 pm

James City County Library, Kitzinger Room

Tracy Matthew Melton, President of the Historic Rivers Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists, will discuss how our residential landscapes dramatically influence what happens in our local fields & woods. Some non-native plants have bad habits such as rapid growth and aggressive spreading through seeds and roots. This enables them to crowd out native trees and plants, which are essential to attract birds & pollinators & other wildlife. Please join us to learn how you can make a difference, starting in your own yard.
