Invasive Knotweeds are a family of large, perennial, invasive shrubs that can devastate rivers, wetlands, woodlands, and stream-side habitats. Known to push through asphalt, concrete, and even metal, these powerful plants can send out 30 foot long roots that displace native vegetation, increase erosion, break down food webs, and damage infrastructure.

Challenging - if not sometimes impossible - to remove from the landscape once established, this workshop will guide participants through the best practices you need to know to prevent the spread of Knotweed. Learn how to identify all species of invasive Knotweed frequently encountered in the Adirondacks, understand methods to directly manage and maintain populations occurring on your property, and get involved teaching others how to keep Knotweed from growing out of control in the North Country.
