Join the Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District for a Weed Watcher Workshop!
What Are Weed Watcher Workshops?
Weed Watcher workshops are presented annually in the spring to help alert area residents to priority weeds. Each workshop consists of an introduction to invasive species control, a walk-through of the weeds of greatest concern, and time to practice identifying these plants with live samples. Participants receive a copy of our handy weed ID guide, which includes information on how and where to report infestations as well as a boot brush to prevent spreading invasive species. Bring in your mystery plant for identification by the experts.
Learn more about the threat posed by invasive species and our mission to stop it!
During the workshops, weed experts explain why not all weeds are invasive. In order to be considered an invasive species, these weeds have to be more than simply unwanted. If an unwanted weed rapidly infests an area and has a negative impact on human health, economic productivity, or the surrounding environment, then Weed Watchers should be on the lookout in order to catch the invasive species before it establishes itself and the population explodes.
