About the event
Swap that Invasive Shurb for a Native one!
The Wild Rivers Invasive Species Coalition (WRISC) is bringing back Invasive Species Trade-Up Days to Dickinson County for the third year in a row! Trade-Up Days are a chance for landowners to remove an ornamental invasive species from their property, such as Japanese Barberry, Buckthorn, or Burning Bush, and exchange the plant for a monetary voucher to buy a native plant replacement OR receive a native shrub on site. Each voucher is worth $5, and you are able to receive up to $50 if you bring in 10 or more invasive species!
During the event, times will vary as indicated below:
Monday, May 22nd - Friday, May 26th: 8 AM - 4 PM
Friday, May 27th: 8 AM - 12 PM
While we ask that you pre-register, it is not required! A short presentation will be given on Monday, May 22nd at…
