Concurrent with the main Symposium, they will also be offering an invasive plant identification and treatment class. This year, “Invasives 101: Identification and Treatment of Common EDRR Plants” will only be held during the morning session. This class offers “hands-on” identification of plants as well as a review of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standards, treatment methods, and why and how plant species invade Florida.
