Join us this summer for an engaging and educational webinar series that reimagines the way we approach invasive plants. Hosted in collaboration with invasive species groups across the Columbia Basin, this three-part series explores innovative ways to responsibly harvest and creatively repurpose problem plants. Each session will feature expert presentations on invasive species management, responsible harvesting techniques, and unique guest speakers sharing inspiring ways to transform invaders into valuable resources.
