Invasive Plants Meet & Greet with OCISMA!
The Ottauquechee Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (OCISMA) would like to invite community members to an educational workday this Friday at VINS Nature Center from 9am until noon. This event is free and open to the public. We will be learning about common invasive plants and effective management techniques. All ages are welcome to join the management efforts or simply come learn and meet other community members interested in conserving natural habitats. Please bring work gloves, a water bottle, and your enthusiasm for the outdoors!
About OCISMA:
Passing through towns including Killington, Woodstock, and Hartford, the Ottauquechee River is one of the many tributaries to the Connecticut River. Members of the communities within the Ottauquechee watershed have come together to address the spreading issue of invasive species. Formed in 2010, the OCISMA has held several educational workshops and invasive plant control days. The Steering Committee includes representatives from the National Park Service, the Ottauquechee Natural Resources Conservation District, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and private citizens. Outreach activities are ongoing and new members are always welcome!
