Kristopher Williams addresses last week's meeting about his work combating invasive species, in order to protect native plants, forestry and agriculture. Kris is coordinator of the Capital Mohawk Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM). He works out of the Cornell Cooperative Extension in Ballston Spa, funded by a state grant, on issues like fighting the hemlock wooly adelgid (which has killed many trees in the Carolinas), and educating people about the problems associated with burning bush, an ornamental shrub.
