FOREST INVADERS
Presented by Ryan Pankau, Extension Educator, Horticulture

Illinois forests are unique plant communities of towering trees as well as tiny, spring wildflowers. Invasive plants threaten native plant diversity in forest communities across Illinois by outcompeting our natives for water, light, and other resources. This presentation will focus on the identification and control of non-native forest invaders so you can help keep plant diversity up in your neck of the woods.

This webinar is part of the Illinois Extension Invasive Species Series. For a list of upcoming Illinois Extension webinars on a variety of topics, visit our Digital Webinars and Trainings website.

University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in programming, contact the presenter. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting your needs.
