Webinar - Dealing with Forest Invasives in Fall and Winter

Fall and winter is a great time to get after those invasive plants on your land. It may be a little harder to spot them and different eradication techniques are necessary in cooler and colder weather, but there are no bugs or heat to contend with.


Last May, the IFA hosted a webinar on how to deal with invasive plants. Attendees considered the content very informative and appreciated the webinar format. Next Thursday, we are lucky to have the original presenter Chris Evans return to discuss invasives again, this time in the context of fall and winter methods.
