Learn about our most common invasive plants and how to manage them by prioritizing your goals. Discuss the need to pick your battles and focus on what is achievable.

This event is open to the public but is specifically designed for professionals who manage invasives on large properties, public areas, conservation lands, etc. There will be a home gardener version of this presentation on Feb. 24th at 7pm. See here for details.
