Got Invasives?

Not sure what to do? Give the nursery a call!

The Intervale Conservation Nursery provides consultation and removal services for dealing with invasive plants. Their skilled and knowledgeable crew uses mechanical methods to remove invasive species such as Japanese knotweed, common and glossy buckthorn, Japanese bittersweet, multiflora rose, honeysuckle, and Japanese barberry. ICN cares about the health of our watershed and native ecosystems, therefore, no chemical applications are used in this process.

Invasive Management Services

Before: Year one of Japanese knotweed manual management along the Mad River.

After: The same patch in year two. After one growing season of biweekly weed whacking, moving and scything, this patch is barely recognizable.

Testimonial:

“The Jericho Underhill Land Trust has used the services of the Intervale Conservation Nursery for several seasons. We are very pleased with the work they have done in helping control invasive Barberry and Buckthorn on one of our conserved properties. Using their crew to manually remove invasive plants has helped our stewardship goals and is improving the land for wildlife habitat, ecosystem services, and public benefit.” -Sabina Ernst, Jericho Underhill Land Trust

The Intervale Center also hosts volunteer opportunities where individuals can learn to identify common Vermont invasive species and proper mechanical removal techniques. Learn about invasive and native plants and steward the land in the Intervale at the same time!
