To help support Caledon's beautiful biodiversity you are invited to participate in this workshop where we will learn methods on how to control invasive plant species such as garlic mustard, Norway Maple, Manitoba Maple, and many others.
After a light lunch we will go outside and identify the different plants that the CVC is targeting to control.
