Invasive Species Workshop - Level 1 - Ijams Native Landscape Certification

* NOTE: This workshop is only open to participants who have already registered and been confirmed for the Ijams Weed Warriors Native Landscape Certification program. 

Start your Ijams Weed Warriors Native Landscape Certification journey! This required, 30-minute workshop will cover what you need to know about invasive species for Level 1 of this certification program. We'll take a deep-dive into four key invasives, Chinese privet, English ivy, bush honeysuckle, and winter creeper, from their origins and histories to removal techniques, as well as other instances of invasive species and their devastating impact on our local ecosystems. 

This workshop is directly followed by a required Volunteer Workday. Register for the workday here. Registration for workdays opens 21 days prior to the date of the workday. If you are unable to register for the Volunteer Workday on the same date as your Invasive Species Workshop, please email the Ijams Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@ijams.org. Thanks to Tennessee Valley Authority for helping to make this new certification program possible!
