The calendar is moving toward the fall. According to the Washtenaw County Conservation District, it’s a good time to plant certain native species before winter arrives. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert reports.

Washtenaw County is chock-full of non-native, invasive, plant species. In many cases, they pose a threat to native species and the health of the habitat that supports our wildlife and pollinators. There are also human implications. WEMU's David Fair discussed the progress being made toward local habitat restoration and expanding efforts to reintroduce native plant species with Doug Reith from the Washtenaw County Conservation District.
