Invasive Plants are a problem in Harpswell. They reduce our critical native plants, pollinators, butterflies, and birds. They disrupt agriculture. They can harm human health.
HIPP-help plant experts can help you identify invasive plants on your property and suggest control methods and strategies.
This service is free of charge; however, HIPP appreciates contributions to support its work. To donate, send a check to 153 Harpswell Neck Road, Harpswell, ME 04079, with HIPP in the memo line. You can also donate online using the button above.
