SUMMARY:Restoring Your Woodland Class 1: Know Your Enemy- Invasive Plant ID & Property Assessment
DESCRIPTION:The first step in taking back your woodland is knowing what you’re up against. This foundational class will train you to identify the “top tier” invasive threats in our counties woodlands—from woody invasive species (buckthorn\, honeysuckle\, barberry\, autumn olive) to herbaceous (garlic mustard\, dame’s rocket\, celindine\, burdock). Using live samples\, we’ll show you the key features to look for in all seasons. We’ll also discuss why these plants win and how to think like an ecologist. The session culminates in learning a strategic “triage” approach to map your own property. You’ll leave with the confidence to identify your problem plants and a clear map of where to start for the biggest impact. \n\n\n\nISA CEUs Available \n\n\n\nAges 18+Member: $40 | Non-member: $50Pre-registration required by January 19 at 11:59 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
