Spend lunch with us (virtually!) and learn about a new problem plant: Chaff Flower. Brought to you by Ohio River Valley CISMA and Ohio River Foundation.
Japanese Chaff Flower (Achyranthes japponica) has moved rapidly through the Midwest ern states. Since its discovery\, it has spread across both the Ohio and Mi ssissippi river floodplains. Infestations are difficult to control once est ablished and are easily spread by seeds on clothing\, and by animals. This presentation will cover chaff flower ID\, ecological impacts and management tactics to gain control in problem areas.

Combat climate change on your lunch break!
Spend lunc
h with us (virtually!) and learn how and why non-native invasive plant spec
ies like Winter Creeper\, English Ivy\, Honeysuckle\, and others are rapidl
y spreading across Southwestern Ohio. UC Field Service Associate Professor
Dr. Denis Conover will be presenting his research on "The Rise of Nonnative
Invasive Plants in Natural Areas in Southwest Ohio."
This presentati on will cover non-native invasive plant ID\, ecological impacts\, and what you can do to help!
They may not be dangerous plants from outer space \, but non-native invasive plants compete with and often crowd out native o nes\, leading to decreased biodiversity\, poorer habitats for wildlife (inc luding the pollinators that help our food supply)\, and lower water quality \, among many other issues.
Brought to you by Oh io River Valley CISMA and Ohio River Found ation.
Meet the Presenter :
Get outside with us for a b onus volunteer opportunity! Join Ohio River Foundation\, MadTree Br ewing\, Cincinnati Parks\, and Alms Park Allies to remove harmful invasive plants. We'll be using hand saws and loppers to cut and remove inv asive plants\, trees\, and/or vines throughout the park. REGISTER HERE.
- WHEN: Tuesday\, August 23 from 2- 5 pm
- WHERE: Mee t by the Alms Park Pavillion
- REGISTER: To register\, you must sign up and fill out th e waiver.
Be sure to wear long pants\, long sleeves\, sturd y shoes or work boots\, a hat\, sunscreen\, and bug spray. Bring work glove s if you have them (don't worry\, we'll have extras!).
After the even t join us at MadTree Brewing in Oakley for happy hour and FREE pizza!
Qu estions? Please contact Jessica Tegge at jtegge@ohioriverfdn.org or 513.289.6884.
T uesday\, August 30 at 10 – 11 am
So\, you've removed all of your invasive plants...now what? Join u s as we explore native alternatives to include in your garden and other out door spaces!
Why plant native? In short - they are the ecological bas is that all life depends on! Native plants have adapted to the local climat e and soil conditions\, meaning they require less water and very little (if any!) fertilizers. They serve as food for native butterflies\, insects\, b irds and other animals\, they provide habitat\, promote biodiversity\, help prevent soil erosion\, and so much more!

This e vent has been RESCHEDULED for SATURDAY\, MARCH 18 from 10 am to 1 pm.
Help protect stream banks from erosion\ , prevent pollution from entering our streams\, and provide native habitat for birds\, fish\, and mammals by planting live stakes along Twin Creek!
This large-scale restoration pr oject will improve six miles of riverbank along Twin Creek\, which is a tri butary to the Great Miami River. Ohio River Foundation and volunteers will plant 10\,000 native trees and shrubs along the riverbanks while the trees are still dormant\, which will allow them to spring into action with in the following few weeks.
Volunteers should dress for the weather\, wear waterproof shoes\, and bring work gloves if they have them. All tools will be provided. Advance registration is required!
< span style="font-weight: 400\;">Why is this work important? Plants along riverbanks improve water quality by keeping pollutants out o f the water and by helping control erosion\, thus reducing sedimentation. A s they mature\, these riparian plants also provide habitat for streamside b irds and mammals and create shade that helps fish and other aquatic species thrive. Restoring the habitats along these tributaries will go a long way toward improving their health\, and it will reduce the amount of pollution that makes its way into the Ohio River.
WHAT TO WEAR: Sturdy footwear (waterproof rubber boots o
r waders if you have them)\, and a water bottle. Dress for the weather! Be
prepared to be in and around the water on uneven or muddy surfaces.
BRING IF YOU HAVE THEM: Work gloves
WHERE TO MEET : Twin Creek - Lewisburg Community Park\, 100 Tillman Ln. Lewisburg\, OH 45 338

The Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive destructive pest that has recently been found in parts of Ohio\, including Cincinnati. Native to parts of China and Vietnam\, the Spotted Lantern Fly primarily feeds on Tree of Heaven but can also feed on a variety of plants such as grapevine\, hops\, maple\, walnut\, fruit trees and others. If the ir spread into new areas isn’t controlled\, these insects can cause signifi cant damage to both native and economically important plants.

ea[/caption]
Tree of Heaven is a fast-growing deciduous tree n ative to China that has become a widespread invasive species across North A merica. It reproduces very quickly and aggressively inhibits (and can even kill) native plants near it. This invasive plant produces a large amount of seeds\, crowds out native species with its dense thickets\, and secretes a chemical into the soil that is toxic to surrounding plants. It has also he lped to advance the spread of the Spotted Lanternfly.
About the Prese nter:
Bob Bruner has been an entomologist for 13 years\, and for the last six\, has worked as a part of Purdue Extension. Throughout th e bulk of their career\, Bob has studied the ecology and host plant prefere nce of many invasive species\, such as soybean aphid and emerald ash borer\ , using that knowledge to educate people on the impacts of different invade rs. Recently\, they have taken on a new role as the exotic forest pest spec ialist with Purdue University’s Dept. of Entomology. Bob’s work focuses on helping Hoosiers learn more about invasive pests and what they can do to ei ther eradicate or prevent them from damaging property\, businesses\, or the natural areas we love. Bob can often be found traveling throughout the sta te\, offering trainings and presentations for groups like SICIM\, Master Ga rdener associations\, and other volunteer groups. When not at work\, Bob an d their partner of 10 years can often be found wandering the woods with the ir three dogs\, Bo\, Lily\, and Terra.

Non – native plants suc h as honeysuckle and porcelain vine grow aggressively in this climate and c reate real problems for our native ecosystem. These invasive plants choke o ut the natural growth of native plants that provide more for a healthy unde r story and more for local wildlife.
Volunteers should be prepared fo r the weather in clothing appropriate for the temperature\, wear long pants and layers (long sleeves)\, close-toed shoes are required. Suggested: face covering\, gloves & refillable water bottle – there will be a water cooler on site for volunteers to fill a bottle. Cincinnati Parks discourages sing le – use plastics.
Parks will supply tools and equipment\, if you pre fer to use your own hand tool\, please bring it!

Why remove invasive Callery Pear and Honeysuckl e? Pear and Honeysuckle are quickly taking over in our watershed. If no t controlled\, these invasive plants will cause environmental and economic harm to an ecosystem. Invasive species spread rapidly and quickly shade-out the healthy variety of wildflowers\, grasses\, and trees. Eventually\, an ecosystem is dominated with invasive species. Left with nowhere to live\, t he bees\, butterflies\, birds\, and other critters move away. By removing t hese two species\, the Summit Park ecosystem will begin to function as it o nce did\, naturally. There will be room once again for local wildflowers\, grasses\, and trees to spread and thrive.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
Ohio River Foundation will b e on hand to share info about these miraculous creatures as well as to prov ide fun hands-on activities for kids of all ages to explore the wonders of the Ohio River Watershed.
Mussels are incredible and complex creature s that support the health of our local rivers and streams. They are filter feeders\, which means they take water\, and everything in the water\, into their bodies via a siphon. Mussels take in the aquatic algae they eat and a lso pollutants in the water. What comes out of the mussels’ outgoing siphon is super-filtered clean water. They are like Brita filters living in our w aterways. They can filter 10-20 gallons of water a day removing harmful alg ae\, bacteria and even metals!

There will be room once again for local wil dflowers\, grasses\, and trees to spread and thrive.

Address: Kingswood Park (Northern Section) – Duke Blvd\, Mason\, OH 45040 (new pa rking lot – North entrance of the park)
Where to meet: Park in the new North Parking Lot on Duke Blvd\, located across from Mon tessori Academy of Cincinnati. Once you arrive\, please follow the signs to the worksite.
Why this matters: Planting native trees is more than just putting seedlings in the ground — it is actively restoring the natural systems that support the health of the Ohio River watershed and all of us who depend on it. Native t rees provide vital food\, shelter\, and habitat for local wildlife\, from p ollinators to songbirds to mammals. Their deep roots stabilize the soil\, r educing erosion and the amount of pollutants going into our waterways. And like all trees\, they capture carbon and help moderate the effects of clima te change.
All planting will take place in areas that have alr eady been treated for invasive species. At Kingswood\, Ohio River Foundatio n and dedicated community volunteers have spent years removing aggressive p lants that crowd out young trees and disrupt natural habitats. By combining invasive species removal with native tree planting\, we are building on th at long-term restoration work while streng thening the health and resilience of Kingswood Park.
