The Pacific Northwest Invasive Plant Council, a non-profit conservation organization, is hosting two FREE workshops to train citizens to identify important invasive plants. Join a regional volunteer effort to detect and eradicate invasive plant species!
In just 2.5 hours of your time, you will learn how to identify priority invasive plants and how to record basic data. Participants will also lean methods of manual invasive weed removal. Equipped with this new knowledge, volunteers will be able to conduct invasive plant surveys that are of great value to local land managers. Your efforts will directly support the maintenance of healthy ecosystems.
If you work on or spend time enjoying public lands, or would just like to learn more about invasive plants, we invite you to attend one of two upcoming trainings:
- April 27, 2016, Wednesday at 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm, Sandy, OR (Can’t make the workshop on 4/27? A second workshop will be offered 4/28 in Vancouver, WA)
- Sandy Community Center
- 38348 Pioneer Blvd., Sandy, OR 97055Parking is available along the side and at the back of the building.
- Hosted by: David Lebo, Westside Zone Botanist, Mt. Hood National Forest; and Sam Leininger, Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District; and Columbia Gorge CWMA
