Managing Woody Invasive Plants: Fall Classroom Edition
with Illinois Extension
When other plants lie low for the colder months, many invasives stick out, giving us the perfect opportunity to manage them. Join the Forest Preserves of Winnebago County and University of Illinois Extension to learn how invasives take over, why it is important to manage these pesky plants, and how to do it effectively. University of Illinois Extension Natural Resources, Environment, and Energy Educator Jay Solomon will lead the group through an engaging and informational classroom discussion.
