Managing invasive plant populations is only the first step in restoring natural areas—long-term success requires ongoing strategies to suppress invasives and promote native plant growth.
This webinar will explore effective techniques for maintaining control over invasive species while fostering a thriving native plant community.
Learn practical approaches to ecological restoration that go beyond removal, ensuring lasting improvements to biodiversity and habitat health.
Throughout the session, we will highlight some of the most problematic invasive species found in Pennsylvania, examine their methods of establishment, and discuss effective strategies to mitigate their spread.
By delving into the complexities of invasive species challenges, our goal is to empower communities and spotlight the ongoing efforts led by state agencies. Join us as we showcase ongoing efforts and empower communities to combat this threat.
