Upcoming Invasive Plant Management Workshops

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.
