The Santa Fe River Watershed is a verdant, dynamic, and biodiverse habitat. During this guided workshop, you’ll be acquainted with both native species and invasive plants growing along the Santa Fe River between Siler Road and Frenchy’s Footbridge. You’ll also learn about the local efforts to curtail invasives and enhance the native flora.
