Join us for a comprehensive workshop tailored to equip landowners and professionals with the skills to identify and treat invasive plants in natural areas and rights-of-way.
Gain practical knowledge and experience through demonstrations designed to enhance your expertise in invasive plant management.
The morning session features in-depth presentations on plant identification, species-specific control techniques, equipment calibration, and proper chemical handling and mixing.
In the afternoon, you'll get hands-on practice, applying herbicides to various invasive species under expert supervision.
