Are you interested in how to control non-native invasive plants in your yard, on your street, or in your Homeowner’s Association property? At this  month’s Green Drinks, Bob Gale, Ecologist and Public Lands Director for MountainTrue, will discuss issues related to non-native invasive plants, methods of control, and ideas for moving your yard toward a more natural ecosystem.

Bob’s 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.
