Join Wild Ones for a hike with Molly Lewis at Little Forks Conservancy's Nelson Woods Preserve. We’ll focus on identification, management and control methods for invasive species. We will also look at the amazing work Little Forks and their volunteers have conducted over the last year to remove invasive species such as Autumn olive and Japanese barberry from the landscape.
Molly Lewis is the Central Michigan Cooperative Invasive Species Management (CM-CISMA) coordinator. She has a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science with a focus on Natural Resources and Conservation. Protecting, managing, and creating natural habitats is a passion of hers and through her current role as the CM-CISMA coordinator she hopes to create positive changes in the Central Michigan area.
This program will take place at Nelson Woods. Meet at the parking lot at the north end of Vance Road off M-20. The public is welcome to attend.
