Invasive plant species infest many different landscapes, both natural areas and the places people live and work. Professionals in urban landscapes that include residential, cities/towns and parks/open spaces need to know invaders and how to control them. This course provides expert information on the identification, ecology and practical control and prevention of most prevalent and damaging invasive plants in residential and urban landscapes in South Alabama. In addition, the course explores native plants, selecting plants to increase diversity on the landscape and the practical use of noninvasive species within the landscape.
Target audiences include Landscapers, Nurserymen/Growers, Consultants, County and Municipal Employees and Urban Foresters
Course Sponsors: City of Gulf Shores, Wetland Resources Environmental Consulting, Fred Nation Environmental Services, Green Nurseries, Weeks Bay Reserve/ADCNR Coastal Training Program, Weeks Bay Foundation, Alabama Urban Forestry Association, Baldwin County Soil and Water Conservation District and NOAA.
