How to Succeed in Hunting Invasive Species Without Really Trying

The video concerns a young, ambitious native plant defender who, with the help of the smartphone app, “How to succeed in hunting invasive species without really trying”, rises from a budding environmentalist to a fighting naturalist.

Commander Ben goes to high school

I have great news to share with you! I’ve been accepted into St. Michael’s Catholic Academy for high school in the fall. I’m very excited, since I’ve been studying hard and took the ISEE exam to get in.

Last year, the drama team at St. Michael’s put on a play, “How to succeed in business without really trying“. It was a musical comedy with lots of great student actors, and this got me thinking about making a fun video with invasive species that’s similar to the opening of the play.

I hope you enjoy this latest addition to my Battles with Invasive Species video series!

Your friend,

Was that Commander Ben in Legally Blonde, the Musical?

For most of the month of June, I sang and acted my way through my first play, Legally Blonde, a musical that TexArts brought from Broadway and adapted for our community theater.

I had a wonderful time learning more about acting and singing with my great instructors and talented performers and friends, leading up to our six performances last weekend.

It was so much fun! I can’t wait until my next play. Don’t be surprised if you see a chorus line of invasive plants in my upcoming videos!

Your friend,
Ben
