Autumn olive is a troublesome invasive species that can quickly take over a landscape and crowd out native plants and animals. With thousands of seeds and an extensive root system, management can seem overwhelming - especially once plants grow to be quite large.
Fortunately, with some effort and the right knowledge, autumn olive can be controlled with chemicals or using mechanical methods. ISN is hosting a workshop to review the options available to landowners struggling with the plant. We will review how to identify autumn olive at various stages of growth and provide hands-on removal demonstrations. There will also be information available regarding landowner assistance programs if the outbreak is too large to personally handle.
