Southeastern Wisconsin Invasive Species Consortium is teaming up again with Johnson’s Nursery, Inc.^TM to offer Invasive Plant Management Workshops in 2024. Take this class to ensure that you are using the most appropriate, efficient, up-to-date and least environmentally damaging methods in those efforts.

This is a hands-on class. After an introduction to the general ecology of the five functional groups of invasive plants (shrubs, perennial forbs, clonal perennials, grasses, annuals/biennials), the class will discuss, demonstrate and practice all applicable control methods (chemical and non-chemical) for these plant types and suggest native plantings after invasive removal.
