The Good, the Bad, and the Invasive

Along the way, we’ll highlight outstanding native and ornamental trees that contribute beauty, habitat, and resilience to the campus environment. In addition, we’ll also make a stop at the demonstration plots near Barton Hall with native perennials and shrubs that serve as habitat and nectar sources for beneficial insects.
