Harbor Country Hikers To Focus On Invasives At June Hike

Invasive plants have an adverse impact on local and migrating wildlife. Alex Florian, an invasive species coordinator for the SW x SW Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA), will discuss how best to handle these undesirables during a Harbor Country Hikers hike Saturday, June 17, starting at 10 a.m., at the Harbert Road Preserve in Three Oaks.

The Harbert Road Preserve has seen many disturbances over the years, and this has created ideal conditions for out-of-place plants to take root and thrive. The 90-acre preserve has wide and inviting wetland, prairie and woodland trails and nesting habitats for birds of all types.

The two-mile hike is rated moderately physically difficult. The Hikers recommends participants wear long pants, a sun hat, sturdy shoes or boots, and insect repellent, and bring plenty of water.

Though membership in the Hikers is preferred, this hike is free and open to all.
