About the Event
* NOTE: This workshop is only open to participants who have already registered and been confirmed for the Ijams Weed Warriors Native Landscape Certification program.Â
Start your Ijams Weed Warriors Native Landscape Certification journey! This required, 1.5 hour workshop will cover what you need to know about invasive species for Level 1 of this program. We'll take a deep-dive into four key invasives, Chinese privet, English ivy, bush honeysuckle, and wintercreeper, from their origins and histories to removal techniques, as well as other instances of invasive species and their devastating impact on our local ecosystems.Â
Parking: Parking for this Ijams Education Course is free for all participants. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the course begins to obtain a free parking pass upon check-in. If you have been issued a yearly membership or parking pass, you're all set! To learn more about Ijams membership opportunities, visit: ijams.org/membership
Accessability: Participants should expect to be seated for half of the program for a presentation, followed by a leisurely walk that will be up to 1 mile long.Â
