Most past attendees report that they will likely recommend this training to a friend or colleague.
As one 2023 attendee said, “Invasive plants weren’t in the conversation years ago, but now I see how my property has changed in the last 25 years. I really wish I had done this years ago. I learned so much PRACTICAL information on winning my invasive battle.”
This practical, hands-on training by foresters and natural resource professionals includes assessing your invasive plant program, the three pillars of invasive plant management, selecting control options, herbicide use and considerations, control funding and technical assistance, and setting invasive management goals and objectives. It will consist of classroom portions and in-field demonstrations of equipment and invasive control methods. Lunch is included, and registrants are encouraged to ask about any accessibility needs during registration.
This event is hosted by Purdue Extension Forestry & Natural Resources in cooperation with the
Orange County Invasives Partnership, the Invasive Species Awareness Coalition of Dubois
County, the Dubois and Orange County Soil & Water Conservation Districts, and Indiana DNR
Forestry. Purdue Extension is an equal access/equal opportunity institution.
