About this event
Tree Steward Tim Maywalt will present this two-part class by Zoom. Managing the invasive plants that are overtaking our green spaces is a challenge. But any of us can do it with the knowledge to identify and treat them. This class will show you how to identify about 30 common invasive plants in the Virginia Piedmont and illustrate a wide range of options for treating them.
Covered in the series:
- Identifying invasive plants
- Which invasives you can best treat now and when to treat them if spring isn’t the best time
- Using manual & mechanical control methods
- Methods for controlling invasives with herbicides
- Choosing the right herbicide and equipment, and using it properly
- Forest safety, equipment and herbicide safety, and personal protective equipment
- Reference documents for more detailed identification and treatment information
- Sources for equipment, supplies and professional help from State Foresters and Conservationists and commercial vendors
