Environment Day in Agarn - Combating invasive neophytes

Grünes Zimmer Agarn, 3951 Agarn
Free of charge
The term "neophytes" refers to plant species that were intentionally or unintentionally introduced into habitats outside their natural range after the discovery of America in 1492.
Most of these neophytes are well integrated into our Swiss flora (e.g. chestnut trees). If the population of such alien species is not regulated in the new location by predators or parasites, they spread efficiently at the expense of native species, are difficult to control and increasingly cause health, economic and ecological damage. This is referred to as "invasive neophytes". Almost 56 alien species are classified as invasive neophytes in Switzerland.

The Environment Day, in cooperation with the Agarn Environment and Culture Commission, consists of a short input on the topic and then a control action in the field.

The morning will end with an aperitif offered by the Agarn Environment and Culture Commission.
