Trainings

Most Portlanders are familiar with the common invasive plants such as ivy and blackberry but there are a few recent arrivals we would like to stop and we need your help! Come to the Southwest Portland Community Center on Wednesday, May 25 from 7 pmto 9 for the free Weed Watchers Workshop to learn more about newer invasive plants such as Garlic mustard and Japanese knotweed that threaten Portland’s parks, natural areas, and stream corridors. After leaving the workshop you will be prepared to identify new invasive plants, report invasives, and be equipped with the Best Management Practices to control them.

Find out how you can become an important part of Oregon's Early Detection
Network and combat invasive plants in the Multnomah region! Join us at Metro
Regional Center on May 20th or 21st from 12pm to 2pm for training on how to
recognize, remove, and report the noxious weeds which threaten our local
environment and biodiversity. Invasive species cause serious problems by
disrupting ecosystems, pushing out native species, and decreasing the value
of your land. Many invasive species are not yet abundant in Oregon, and you
can help keep them out!
Attend this FREE Training and you will:
• Discover more about the problem of invasive species
