Presentation: Invasive Species of Long Island
The Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting a free presentation on invasive species, where we will discuss a variety of invasive plants and insects found throughout Long Island.
There are many invasive plants and animals found on Long Island that cause severe negative impacts on the environment. Focusing on these “invasives” and learning how to identify them can help to bring awareness and can aid in preventing future spread.
As a resident, this presentation will help you identify invasive species commonly found on and off your property and their impacts to our local environment. Following the presentation we will allow time for a question and answer session.
This presentation will be held on August 6th, 2020 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Make sure to register to attend this ZOOM meeting by sending an email with your name and preferred email address to OliviaSWCD@optonline.net.
