Bittersweet Day at Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum! April 24th 9a-5p

INVASIVES!

Nitrogen fixing, Fruit bearing, Pollinator supporting, Nutritious, Medicinal, Ceremonially significant/Sacred.

Living organisms and the systems they comprise are evolving and changing. Our notions of native and nonindigeonous are based on perspectives limited in time and scope. When a new species is displacing other species, what can we do before a new dynamic equilibrium is achieved? Join us for a day of discussion, learning, and help releasing the hold bittersweet has taken over other plant species at Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum!
