*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.*

*Blue Ridge PRISM's Summer Invasive Plant Workshop will enable you to learn
how to confidently identify and manage invasive plants best identified and
controlled during the summer months.* *Our workshops are being conducted
virtually and contain the same content as in-person workshops except that
the outdoor elements will be conducted when it is safe to do so.*

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*
