[Chuquin, Ana]

All,

 Please see the announcement below. Could you please help us spread the
word about this training opportunity with your networks?

Thank you,

Ana.



*Non-native, Invasive Plant Identification Class 101*



Rock Creek Park in partnership with Casey Trees, DOEE, and the Anacostia
Watershed Society will host a non-native, invasive training class on May
1st (In class), and May 4th (Field recognition).



Join us for this two-part series to learn about non-native, invasive plants
and how they are threatening our native landscapes.

Participants will learn how to identify and control species of non-native,
invasive plants found in the Washington, D.C. area including porcelainberry
(Ampelopsis glandulosa), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) and
mile-a-minute (Persicaria perfoliata). Native alternatives to common and
incoming invasive plants will also be discussed. Utilize these
identification and removal skills to clear landscapes and make room for
more native plant species!

The course consists of two parts on two different days: a 2.5 hour
classroom session at a location to be announced, followed by a 2.5-hour
field session (Saturday, May 4th from 9:00am-11:30am) at Rock Creek Park.
Where to meet in Rock Creek Park will be announced closer to the event.

Registering for the classroom session will automatically enroll you in the
field session as well.



This training is a requirement to become a volunteer weed warrior for Rock
Creek Park. There are plenty of seats available.


Please share this opportunity with anyone that might be interested. Follow
