You’re invited to learn about and participate in the second annual Pennsylvania Invasive Replace-ive Program scheduled to take place in spring 2026.

Guest speaker Celine Colbert, DCNR’s Urban and Community Tree Canopy Coordinator, will provide an overview of this year’s program, giveaway events and locations, how to register, and tips on removing Tier 1 invasive plants from your landscape.
