In partnership with United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the Columbia Gorge Cooperative Weed Management Area, the Washington Invasive Species Council, and Washington State University Extension will be co-hosting the 8th Annual Columbia Gorge Invasive Species and Exotic Pest Workshop!
This excellent opportunity is designed to provide information on invasive species management to land managers and the interested public. We will focus on identification and control methods for the Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) and Flowering Rush (Butomus umbellatus) in the morning. After lunch, we will put your weed identification skills to the test with a fun, interactive weed quiz through the game-based platform, Kahoot!. Later in the day, we will hear the latest news on regional pesticide research updates and the Eagle Creek Fire containment zone. We are excited to be hosting at Skamania County’s Hegewald Center once again!
