Invasive Species

trainingIntroduction to Invasive Species Management: Using current invasive plants as real-life examples, participants will learn the tools for integrating invasive species management planning into conservation plans and develop knowledge of best management practices in order to assist farmers in their planning process. The course will be composed of several classroom and field training sections over three days.

The classroom portion will introduce participants to current invasive plants, management principles and tools for control. Laws and government programs requiring invasive plant control will be highlighted and a discussion on the best ways to meet the requirements will follow. Methods for creating and disseminating invasive species management plans will be provided along with real-life dos and don’ts. 

 The Field training portion will focus on learning data collection skills, as well as hints on what to look for when evaluating an invaded site. A walk over of a local site will be the setting for discussion of several example control methods on various invasive species. Participants will work in teams to complete a site evaluation for invasive species and work to create an invasive species management plan for that location using the tools and techniques introduced in the course.
