Calling All Concerned Citizens this March: Honeysuckle Month
This March, BiodiverseCity STL is calling all concerned citizens to join us for a month of removing invasive bush honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) throughout the greater St. Louis region! All month long, local organizations and community groups will be hosting honeysuckle removal events.
This biannual initiative, launched in the Spring of 2016, is energizing volunteers to join together in an effort to control
bush honeysuckle to promote and protect biodiversity. In
2018, over 750 volunteers spent 2,275 total hours clearing
over 30 acres of bush honeysuckle.
Free Workshop Sunday, March 3
On Sunday, March 3, Shaw Nature Reserve will 
host a workshop for educators and community leaders focused on providing participants with the resources they need to introduce ecological restoration into their curriculum and lesson plans.
You are invited to attend this event to learn more
about how you can get a group together in your
community to not only manage invasive plant species,
but to transform your green spaces into healthy
habitats and to increase biodiversity in our region.
