The class will also focus on habitat restoration through management and control of invasive plants. A variety of control methods will be outlined, including description of tools, techniques, and detailed strategies for some of the high-priority species. The lecture portion of this class will be until 12:30 p.m. followed by a break and optional outdoor field study.
