Description:
Some exotic plants are invasive weeds that form expanding populations on our landscape, making management for timber, wildlife and other benefits a challenge. These invasive exotic plants can displace native plants and associated wildlife, and can affect fire and water flow. Northwest Florida Extension Services is offering a Forest Stewardship workshop focusing on some of the more common and troublesome invasive exotic plants in northwest Florida and the current methods being used to control them.
