| Beautiful and Destructive: Invasive Plants | Over the last 30 years, invasive plant species have slowly taken a firm foothold in our area. On Wednesday, May 29 at 2 p.m. join Nature Specialist Justin Roberson with the Fairfax County Park Authority to talk about invasive plants, their damaging effects and how you can help protect yards, gardens and parkland from the infestation of these aggressively growing plants.
