Workshop Information:

Invasive plants pose a costly challenge to roadside vegetation managers. A statewide partnership among university, non-profit, state agency, and private industry groups is hosted workshops across the state in 2019. Workshops addressed topics such as:

• Identification of common roadside invasive plants
• How to apply management methods to optimize control and minimize cost
• Tools and tips for mapping invasive plants within your jurisdiction
• Integrating management with pollinator habitat efforts

Each workshop also included a bus tour to large- and small-scale demonstration plots that demonstrate:

• Broadcast and spot herbicide applications
• Mowing timing and frequency
• Use of plant growth regulators to reduce mowing frequency

We have created a one page factsheet to explain the importance of right of way invasive species management. It can be found here.
