Green, Ky. - Friends of Lost River Cave & Valley are working to remove the invasive plant species in their park.
The nonprofit is partnering with volunteers, including students in Western Kentucky University’s American Humanics (Nonprofit Administration) program, to educate the community about the problem and work to remove the plants. The Earth Day event will take place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on April 19 at Lost River Cave.
Community members will learn more about the invasive plants growing in the park, safe ways to remove the plants, and indigenous plants that are good substitutes for the invasive ones.
