https://extension.unh.edu/ en https://extension.unh.edu/blog/2024/10/fall-invasives-management Late autumn into early winter is the perfect time to identify and manage invasive plants. They are easier to spot amongst the frost-killed and sleeping natives. Seedlings can be more readily seen once the major canopies are reduced, and we can see through the wooded spaces more freely once the leaves have fallen. Pulling invasives out of the earth won’t disturb the natives as much, as they are already well on their way to a long winter’s rest. If you feel the need to treat with chemicals, there is less live tissue at risk for collateral damage from overspray.

Also discussed was the potential for repurposing the skid trails for recreation.

Using a web application developed especially for this effort, volunteers in Massachusetts have submitted many thousands of bumblebee-plant identifications by taking video clips with a cell phone.
