   Flowers Versus Weeds: A Race for Resources
by Josh Hoines, M.S., Restoration Ecology, JTNP Botanist
     Want to know the difference between a weed, an alien plant, an exotic plant and an invasive? Want to know the current threats to wildflowers at Joshua Tree National Park? Join Josh Hoines, who will address invasive species and their threat to biodiversity, the economy, and the direct threats to the park. Invasive species are considered the largest threat to biodiversity, second only to habitat loss. Invasive species and their consequences are estimated to cost the American public an estimated $138 billion each year.

  There will also be an optional dinner with the speaker at 5 pm at the 29 Palms Inn, space is limited and attendees are responsible for their own meal. If interested in dinner please RSVP to Marion Gartner 760-361-1202 or desert29palms@yahoo.com.
