Invasive Plant Workshops (Zoom) - Cost $10.00 (3 dates available)

Non-native invasive plants are quickly overwhelming many properties by
tearing down the forest canopy and overtaking our native plants at the tree,
shrub and/or groundcover levels. Understanding what invasive plants exist on
the landscape and what it will take to control them can often feel
overwhelming

Our workshops will enable you to learn how to confidently identify and
manage invasive plants. Our invasive plant workshops are seasonally focused
and so content differs between workshops in Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Topics covered in this session include:

*         Identifying invasive plants

*         Which invasives you can best kill now

*         Which invasives you should treat later

*         Best seasonal practices for each invasive

*         Using manual & mechanical control methods

*         Methods for controlling invasives with herbicides

*         Choosing the right herbicide and equipment, and using it properly

*         Planning a work schedule with best timings for multiple plants

 

Due to COVID19, our workshops are being conducted via Zoom and contain the
same content as in-person workshops except that the outdoor elements will be
conducted when it is safe to do so.
