Learn how to identify common invasive species and how to control them in your backyard. Participants will examine pictures and plant samples to learn to distinguish invasive plants from natives. Control methods covered include mechanical and chemical methods with an emphasis on safety and minimizing the effect of control methods on surrounding plants. Weather permitting, most of the class will be held outdoors. The instructor, Dr. Sylvan Kaufman, is co-author with her father, Wallace Kaufman, of Invasive Plants: Guide to Identification and the Impacts and Control of Common North American Species.
