Invasive Species Early Detection Hike, ROC

Join Alice for this Free Public Event at the Seneca Park Zoo

Join zoo naturalists and members of the community on a hike Saturday, October 9th from 3:00-4:30 PM at Dolomite Trail – (4405 Canandaigua Rd, Walworth, NY 14568) to learn about and find invasive species in our local area. An invasive species is a species of non-native plant or animal that can disrupt the balance, biodiversity, and overall health of native plants and animals. The Seneca Park Zoo Society has teamed up with the Finger Lakes Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (FL-PRISM) to find, report, and educate the public on these invasive species by hiking through this area of Rochester that has not yet been surveyed.
