About the Event

Be gone pests! Join UNH Cooperative Extension Forestry Specialist Wendy Scribner on Friday, May 10 from 10am-12pm to learn about the invasive plants and pests that threaten New Hampshire’s towns and forests. These damaging insects and diseases as well as non-native plants can spread quickly and put forests and the natural environment at risk. Wendy will share information about non-native upland invasive plants and pests and how to identify, report and manage them. State regulations and initiatives as well as management techniques, planning resources and available tools will also be covered. This workshop is designed for private landowners, land trust staff, foresters, natural resource professionals, municipal staff and community members who are interested in natural resource protection and stewardship.

What to bring

Dress appropriately for walking outdoors on an easy 0.2 mile long flat trail in the forest.
