Pennsylvania Invasive Species: Stubborn Weed ID and Management
March 7 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR
Pennsylvania has identified over 150 invasive plants, insects, pathogens, and animals that significantly impact both the environment and agricultural production, resulting in annual economic losses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. The Pennsylvania Invasive Species webinar is committed to addressing this critical issue. Throughout the session, we will highlight some of the most problematic invasive species found in Pennsylvania, examine their methods of establishment, and discuss effective strategies to mitigate their spread. By delving into the complexities of invasive species challenges, our goal is to empower communities and spotlight the ongoing efforts led by state agencies. Join us as we showcase ongoing efforts and empower communities to combat this threat.
EVENT DETAILS
During this one-hour webinar, Dwight Lingenfelter, a Penn State Extension Weed Scientist, will highlight common and invasive weeds from around the region, covering identification, management strategies, and interesting facts, using images to illustrate the various species.
