Hosted in partnership with Blue Ridge Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) and the Virginia Invasive Plant Coalition, this webinar presents an hour-long presentation from Blue Ridge PRISM's Executive Director, Lauren Taylor. During her presentation, she will guide participants through identifying invasive plants in your landscapes, leaving time for questions at the end.

Whether you're looking to brush up on your invasive species ID before our next Stretch Our Parks event, learn about our partner groups, or you are just curious about what invasives might be in your own backyard, this program is a great resource!
