Discover the plants that belong, learn how to manage the ones that don’t, and leave inspired to restore your own landscape. Visit interactive learning stations where local experts will help you identify native plants, explore practical invasive species removal techniques, and develop a revegetation plan using native species.

Participants will receive free native plants to jump-start their restoration efforts, and eligible attendees can earn Conservation Training Program credits while connecting with others who care about creating healthier habitats and waterways.
