This annual workshop is designed to foster information-sharing among local professionals regarding invasive plant control. Topics from previous years have included biocontrol, weed torches, reed canarygrass treatment, herbicide application tools, and more. The event is free and open to the public, and would be most useful for those with some experience managing invasive plants. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, whether good or bad, regarding invasive plant control. Contact Darienne McNamara for details, or to suggest a topic for discussion at this year's event.
