Hi,
I am holding
training sessions for anyone who wants to ID, quantify and map invasive plants
on ecologically significant Maryland state lands. There will be two training
sessions in each region of the state this year. The training itself counts as
Advanced Master Naturalist training, and the work counts as hours for Master
Naturalists. Master Gardeners are more than welcome. Here is the press release
that DNR sent out a couple weeks ago: http://news.maryland.gov/dnr/2016/04/26/statewide-eyes-program-calls-on-citizens-to-help-find-invasive-plants/
and here is the program website: http://dnr2.maryland.gov/wildlife/Pages/statewide_eyes.aspx.
Please spread the word and/or come join us. The workshops are free.
