Invasives: ID, Ecology, and Control

This course provides an introduction to about 40 of the most common invasive non-native plants in our local landscapes. Through lecture, discussion, power-point presentation, herbarium specimens, and a walk outside, become familiar with identification clues as well as the habits of a number of these plants that are so disruptive of natural ecosytems. Discuss management techniques for many of these species, on both a home and a landscape scale. The Invaders issue of the Society’s magazine, as well as the MA Field Guide to Invasives, will be available for purchase at a discount.
