These trainings will be classroom-style events with multi-media sources with portions of open discussion. The intent is to educate attendees on identifying rare plants and the habitats in which they occur so that they will not be affected by invasive plant treatments. FNAI is committed to providing the most comprehensive training as possible, and would greatly appreciate your assistance in this endeavor. You are receiving this message because of your experiences with native plants and the impacts invasive exotic species can have on them.
We are in the process of compiling a listing of candidate species to include in these presentations and would like to focus the audience’s attention on rare native species that resemble invasive plants species routinely targeted for control efforts. While we are aware of a several instances where native species have been mistaken for exotic species and inadvertently damaged or killed as a result, we are interested to know of any species you might be aware of that fit this criteria so we can include these plants in our training sessions.
Please share this message with other individuals who may have
information that could ultimately benefit this effort.
It is our goal to conduct these training sessions during the
upcoming winter months in an effort to maximize attendance at these sessions. Your timely response will be most appreciated
and will hopefully enhance the quality of invasive plant management efforts on
our public conservation lands.
Thank you.
