Columbia Gorge Invasive Species Workshop to be held in Stevenson
Registration is underway for the first annual Invasive Species & Exotic Pest Workshop set for March 29 at the Rock Creek Hegewald Center in Stevenson.
The conference will focus on invasive plant control as well as early detection and rapid response to other exotic pests such as aquatic animal species and insects which impact forest and watershed health.
Information will be presented on new and emerging technologies with a focus on best management practices. Subject matter experts from Oregon and Washington will be presenting to the local audience.
While the conference is intended for environmental managers, restoration professionals or pest managers, this workshop will be interesting to anyone and the general public is welcome to register to attend.
The event is sponsored by the Columbia Gorge Cooperative Weed Management Area and is being hosted by the Skamania County Noxious Weed Control Program and Washington State University Extension.
