Plant People Episode 4 Teaser: Eve Beaury

Our 4th episode of #PlantPeople with PRX is live, and we’re tackling invasive plants, along with ways that YOU can help protect local ecosystems. 🌾
This week, NYBG President Jennifer Bernstein chats with Dr. Evelyn Beaury, an invasive plant and global change ecologist new to NYBG’s team of curators. Together they explore the greatest threats to the well-being of our native ecosystems, and how changing climates and land use patterns can speed up the spread of invasive species. From knotweed in the northeast U.S. to kudzu in the south and cheatgrass in the west, hear how these species can overwhelm native plants and habitats-and discover ways that each of us can make a difference to stop them.
