New Field Guide on BioControl Available for Download

The USDA Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team has released a  Field Guide for the Biological Control of Weeds in Eastern North America. This guide includes a quick search by flower color (non-flowering are gray), discusses basic plant and biocontrol biology, and has a symbol-driven efficacy quick guide (status for individual biocontrols: high-low priority, caution with redistribution, illegal to redistribute, no establishment, failed to establish). 

Invasives in your woods

  • Workshop
Learn about common invasive plants found in forests in Vermont, and learn/practice management techniques. Please let us know if you're planning to attend so we can bring enough safety equipment and tools. RSVP to info@vtcoverts.org

9am-1:30pm

Come prepared for a day in the woods, no facilities. Bring water, food, proper clothes and footwear for removing woody plants. Please take precautions as we will most likely encounter ticks.
