MIPN, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, Region 9, hosted a short series of webinars on the restoration of sites invaded with problem plants. The goal of this series was for restoration experts to share their knowledge, strategies, and tips to help others escape the cycle of endless mowing, pulling and/or spraying for invasives and to adopt practices that produce better long-term results in terms of restoring biodiversity and preventing re-establishment of invasive plants. To receive timely announcements about future webinars, please either join MIPN, or sign up for our regional listserv.
