Like to know more about native plants? Want to help plant a native plant buffer along Goosefare Brook? York County Soil and Water Conservation District, the City of Saco, and the Biddeford-Saco Country Club are hosting a native plant workshop at the Country Club, 101 Old Orchard Road, Saco, from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 2.
Participants will learn about the value of adding native plants to shoreline buffers, various native plant species, and ongoing restoration efforts in the Goosefare Brook Watershed. As well, they can help plant a native buffer along Goosefare Brook at the Biddeford-Saco Country Club. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own work gloves and shovels, but some will be available.
