INVASIVE WOODY PLANT MANAGEMENT – PART 1 of 2
Tuesday, December 1st, 2020
2pm-3pm EST
Encroachment of woody vegetation threatens the biology and ecology of many types of ecosystems. The loss of natural foragers, fires, human-caused disturbance and the introduction of non-native plants combine to impact native vegetation and its associated wildlife. Removing invasive woody species improves the function of local ecosystem systems and opens the landscape to provide a more suitable habitat for birds and other wildlife. This topic is a continuation of the EPA’s tree IPM series and will focus on managing invasive woody plants such as the tree of heaven, Oriental bittersweet, winged euonymus/burning bush, Russian olive, bush honeysuckle, glossy and common buckthorn, Japanese knotweed, multiflora rose and Japanese barberry. Attendees will learn the IPM practices used to provide cost-effective management of these woody invasive such as mechanical removal (cutting and shredding), herbicide treatments, fire, and biological controls. Learn how to identify these species and to develop IPM-based strategies for their prevention and control in your region.
