Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Invasive Plant ID Training

Hosted by: Reilly Newman with Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Council

This is a free 2.5 hour training where you will learn how to identify priority invasive species, how to record basic data and how to report findings on EDDMapSWest, a national early detection reporting system. Participants learn plant identification through a PowerPoint presentation and live material. Participants also learn methods of manual removal and which species you should not attempt to remove. Trainings will equip volunteers with the knowledge necessary to conduct invasive plant surveys in order to support local land managers that need your help. Your efforts will directly support the maintenance of healthy ecosystems. Volunteers will receive an invasive plant identification booklet along with survey forms. We ask that volunteers who sign up conduct 1-2 surveys over the field season.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this event may be converted to a webinar. We will let you know via email as we get closer to the date.
