Angela Mech, assistant professor of forest entomology at the University of Maine, and Nicholas Rowley, sustainable agriculture and horticulture professional at University of Maine Cooperative Extension, were featured on WABI (Channel 5 in Bangor) for their work in raising awareness about the spread of invasive species that endanger Maine’s native species. “Doing things like not transplanting invasive plants, being able to identify them, not buying them if you do see them for sale, although that should be illegal or is illegal. If new ones are popping up around your property, trying to control them.” said Rowley. “Just being aware is really all we can ask for from a lot of folks,” said Mech.
