SUMMARY:Invasive Species Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Invasive Plants and ANmials Workshop (1) botanical gardens Invasive Species Workshop \n  \nInvasive species are non-native plants and animals that outcompete native species for resources\, habitat\, and space. They harm the environment and human health. And they harm the economy\, too. In fact\, invasive species cost the U.S. billions annually in damages\, control measures\, and lost productivity! The Southeast U.S. and Gulf Coast region are particularly vulnerable to invasive species due to our mild climate\, extensive waterways\, and diverse ecosystems. \nOn October 1st\, gain valuable insights into recognizing and identifying invasive plants and animals that affect our local ecosystem. The Environmental Studies Center presents this workshop on invasive species\, where we’ll explore the significant negative impacts these species can have. Such negative impacts include outcompeting native species for resources\, disrupting local habitats\, causing economic damage\, and more. Additionally\, learn about various management strategies currently employed to mitigate these issues. We will discuss strategies including physical removal\, biological control\, and public awareness campaigns. By the end of this workshop\, you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to contribute to the preservation and restoration of our natural environment. \nEvent is FREE for MBG members or with regular admission\, but registration is required. Email shabel@mbgardens.org to register your seat for this workshop. And here are links to join as a member now or prepay your admission online. \n
