SUMMARY:Chapter Meeting - A Conversation About Invasive Plants
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation about Invasive Plants / What they are / Why They’re Harmful / And How We Can Do Better for the Environment by Pam Lienhard at Riverside Nature Center\, 150 Francisco Lemos St. \n\n\n\nThis program will discuss what plants are considered invasive; the difficulty in recognizing and controlling invasive plants; the damage they might cause to the environment; why native plants are better for our habitat; and offer suggestions on which native plants are suitable substitutions in your landscape. \n\n\n\nA handout of common invasive plants of the area and suggestions for native Texas plant alternatives will be available. \n\n\n\nPam Lienhard is a 5th generation Texan; grew up in New Braunfels; attended Southwest Texas State University and University of Illinois. \n\n\n\nShe is a 20 + year member of NPSOT; became a certified Master Naturalist in 2015; had the great fortune to work on the NPSOT state board where I learned a lot about invasive plants from Deedy Wright and Cheryl Hamilton \n\n\n\n“I think my greatest appreciation of nature came as a student and visitor in Germany. A friend and I worked one summer in Bavaria with a clear lake (no gasoline engines allowed) in the foreground and majestic mountains all around.  I learned one could walk through forests\, fields and meadows pretty much at will (as long as you stayed on the trail…it was Germany after all). I was hooked on being out in natural habitats. \n\n\n\nHaving grown up in Central Texas\, I love the natural beauty of the Hill Country. I’ve lived in Kerrville for 23 years\, but am saddened by how quickly much of this beauty is being lost.“
