About The Event
Hosted by: Jennifer Mendoza, Cowlitz County Noxious Weed Program Coordinator
This is a free group survey after our consolidated in-person training, where you will learn how to identify priority invasive species, how to record basic data and how to report findings on EDDMapS, a national early detection reporting system.
Participants learn plant identification while out in the field, and learn methods of manual removal and which species you should not attempt to remove. For those that attend the in person lecture, we will be going outside to put your new skills of identification and reporting to the test. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and potentially see some wildlife!
This training will equip you 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.
Upon request, you 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.
If we are able to host an online option, you will receive a zoom link for the webinar via email as we approach the date.
