Site Planning for Invasive Species Management (online)

Learn to assess the invasive species issues at a site and to set priorities for efficiently and effectively managing invasive species in this engaging online class.

Through interactive online learning modules, you will explore how to prioritize management activities, learn the importance of seasonal timing of invasive species control, and discuss how to develop a plan of action for stewardship at an example site. These self-guided lessons can be completed wherever you have access to a computer, at your own pace.

Then join your instructor for a live, scheduled Zoom session to continue your learning and discuss key elements of site management.

This program consists of self-paced online modules and a live online Zoom session.
