Aliens Among Us!
Saturday, August 15, 2009, 9:00 - 12:30 PM
Sweetwater Creek State Park, Lithia Springs, Georgia
They are on the move, slowly swallowing up forests, bottomlands and fields -- engulfing trees, invading your gardens and sucking up sunlight! They are the exotic plants: Kudzu, Privet, and even Wisteria. Join a ranger on this 2-mile guided hike, and get to know the "alien" plants among us. There are small admission and parking fees. Visit the Sweetwater Creek website for more details.
