Hartley Park is a 660 acre park in Duluth with a nature center, woods, trails, and scenic views. The park has a unique history as a former farm. Post farming, both native and invasive species moved in, leading to an interesting mix that presents invasive species management challenges. Learn about stewardship projects, including controlled burns and pollinator plantings, Aquatic invasive species management in Hartley Pond, and knotweed management. Participants will see European mountain ash and other lesser-known invasive plants.
