Got Privet? Strategies for Managing 3 of the Worst Invasive Plants of Georgia

Saturday, November 16 | 9:00 am 1:00 pm

Gary Crider, naturalist and invasive plant control specialist

Chinese Privet, English Ivy and Japanese Stiltgrass have extensively invaded Georgia’s natural areas, creating environmental havoc. With the right strategies, tools and techniques, these invasive plants can be brought under control, reducing their impacts and improving the ecological function of affected sites. This class will take a close look at the life cycle of each of these plants and provide a detailed outline of safe, practical and effective control methods for each.

This class is an elective for the Certificate in Native Plants.
