The Alabama Cooperative Extension System of Jackson County will be conducting an Invasive Plant Management Workshop on Tuesday, July 23 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. (check-in starting at 8:30 a.m.) at Northeast Alabama Community College’s Workforce Development Building located at 138 Alabama Hwy 35, Rainsville, AL 35986.
The workshop will provide homeowners and land managers of all types a great opportunity to better understand what makes plants invasive and how to properly identify, prevent and control some of the more common and problematic invasive plant species.
The indoor presentations and outdoor demonstrations will cover identification, mechanical and chemical control, along with non-invasive and native alternatives.
Participants must pre-register for $25 and seating is limited to the first 50 registrants.
Registration includes a seat at the seminars and field demonstrations, lunch and printed presentation materials and related publications.
This is also a great time to bring any non-desirable plants to be identified.
Continuing education points will be available (10 Commercial Pesticide Applicator Points for categories: AQ, D&R, FOR, OTPC, OTPS, REG, ROW, 5 Professional Logging Manager Points, and 6 Category 1 Continuing Forester Education Points).
