Careless human activities move species around the world and establish new populations outside of their native ranges—often resulting in significant, long-lasting changes to natural environments and costing billions in economic damage. Our local forests, fields, and waters contain hundreds of non-native species, and more arrive each year. Dave Strayer of the Institute of Ecosystems Studies will discuss origins and impacts of these invaders, as well as possible solutions.
Time: Thursday Feb. 4 from 7-8:30 p.m. Open to the public and free of charge
