Invasive plants, invasive insects - oh my!
Description
There are many plants and insects on Cape Cod that are not native to our specific environment. Many of us don’t know where to start in identifying them and learning how to manage them. The BPC invites you to this free informative talk by Beth Taylor, a Barnstable County Master Gardener, about removing invasive plants and insects from your landscape and promoting native species. There will be ample time provided for questions and answers.

About our speaker, Beth Taylor:
Growing up on a Pennsylvania farm—collecting insects, identifying birds, wandering through meadows and woods, and gardening—led Beth to choose a career in the natural sciences. Beth joined the freshwater ecology group at Michigan State University and completed her masters’ research in tropical ecology in Costa Rica. Later she joined the Peace Corps in Guatemala, volunteering as an agricultural extension agent in the highlands where she met her husband, a tenth generation Cape Codder. After a career teaching science, Beth and her husband retired to Chatham, his hometown. She and her husband steward a town conservation property, removing invasives and promoting natives. Beth became certified as a Barnstable County Master Gardener in 2021 and continues her life-long support of conservation as a trustee of the Chatham Conservation Foundation advocating for the incorporation of native plants.
