Control Invasive Woody Plants

Adult Enrichment / Home & Garden -

Spring 2025

Invasive plants—non-natives that spread vigorously outside their natural range—are causing environmental and economic problems globally and can wreak havoc on your landscape. Learn about the identification, biology, and control of troublesome woody, exotic invasive plants plaguing the area. We will cover the invasive traits of these plants and why they are so successful at displacing our native species in local woodlands. We will also review tools for control and helpful websites.

All proceeds from this event go towards the ACE Scholarship fund to help make our classes more accessible to all Arlington youth.
