Scoping Invasive Species Train the Trainer Module
Welcome to the Scoping Invasive Species training module landing page! Whether you are just getting started a seasoned expert looking for resources, we hope the information below helps you navigate our webpage, where you can find resources to improve your invasive species knowledge and share your skills in your community. This is meant to be a linked process of learning that will take a few steps to explore. Our goal at the Wisconsin First Detector Network (WIFDN) is to empower you to ID, map, and manage invasive plants in your community.
