SUMMARY:Discussion: Invasive Plant Species Legislation
DESCRIPTION:Burning Bush invading a New England woodland understory. Despite the ecological harm being caused by this plant\, it is still commonly sold and planted across RI. \nThe Barrington Pollinator Pathway\, an initiative of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, is pleased to host State Representative Jennifer Boylan (District 66) for a discussion and brainstorming session about soon-to-be-proposed legislation to curb the spread of invasive plants in Rhode Island. \nThe event will take place on Monday\, January 5\, at 7 pm at the Barrington Public Library. All are welcome to this free event\, regardless of where you live. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nRhode Island is one of only five states without a prohibited plant sale list\, a list that restricts the sale and distribution of invasive plants\, and the only state in New England without one. Invasive plants are a specific category of non native plant that have been shown to wreak havoc on local ecosystems by spreading exponentially and crowding out native plants species. \nThis bill would prohibit the sale of these plant species at nurseries\, garden centers and anywhere plants are sold in the state. Research has shown that 60% of invasive plants are introduced through their intentional sale and planting. Join us for this conversation and learn more about what you can do to help support this effort. \nRead about the bill.
