DESCRIPTION:Through mini presentations and hands-on paint-making, workshops introduce participants to bird species on farms and invasive plant management that supports their conservation. Asian invasive plants such as Toringo crabapple and Multiflora rose, collected at Hawthorne Valley Farm with guidance from professionals, are used as teaching materials.While acknowledging their impact on local ecosystems, participants learn the plants' names, cultural significance, and uses in Japan. Participants take part in a hands-on session making paint from invasive species, creating a positive relationship with these otherwise harmful plants.Participants will take home a bottle of plant paint and a list of low-cost, recycled-material options that allow them to continue paint-making independently.Register for Paint Making with Invasive Plants on June 7, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Agroforestry Resource Center, 6055 Route 23, Acra, NY 12405Register for Paint Making with Invasive Plants on June 13, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm- Extension Education Center, 479 Route 66, Hudson, NY 12534
