Ohio State University Extension
Join the Ohio Woodland Stewards team and the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District for an evening exploring the non-native invasive plants impacting Ohio woodlands. The program will begin with dinner and a presentation covering invasive species ecology, followed by hands-on identification using live plant samples. We’ll conclude with a guided walk through campus to identify invasive species in the field, discuss management and control strategies, and demonstrate effective treatment methods.
This class involves walking on uneven ground. Please dress appropriately.
Earth Stewardship Celebration: Invasive Plant Removal , 8-9 pm
We will be traveling to another part of the OSU Mansfield Campus to put what we learned into action. Equipment will be provided, but please bring garden/work gloves.
The invasive species removal is in collaboration with the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District’s Earth Stewardship Celebration and serves as the June project site. If you can’t make it to the evening class, you are still welcome to attend the invasive species removal at no charge. Email titchenell.4@osu.edu if you can attend the removal only, and you will be notified with details closer to the date.
