Brainy Brews with MountainTrue in Asheville 1/17/24: If you plant it, they will come

Are you interested in how to control non-native invasive plants in your yard, on your street, or in your Homeowner’s Association property? Former MountainTrue Ecologist and Public Lands Director, Bob Gale, will discuss issues related to non-native invasive plants, methods of control, and ideas for moving your yard toward a more natural ecosystem. His background includes landscaping, arboriculture, and wetland science, and he has worked as a forest ecologist in coastal, piedmont, and mountain regions of the southeast. Bob wrote the natural history portions of the book “A Highroad Guide to the North Carolina Mountains”; and co-authored, with his wife and son, “A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils”.

This FREE event kicks off a series of educational opportunities with MountainTrue in 2024. We are excited to be hosted by The River Arts District Brewing Company. Programming will be from 6-7 pm but come at 5:30 to grab a drink and get settled in. (Popcorn is available on site and guests are welcome to bring in their own snacks and dinner).

We hope you will join us and get a jump start on your landscaping wish list. We are thrilled to launch our first online Native Plant and Shrub Sale in Asheville from February 15th, 2024 through March 31st. More details coming soon. Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of our Native Plant Guide.

I want to support the work of MountainTrue!
