Invasive plant patrol training
Invasive plant patrol training is a free program Monday, March 28, is for adults and families with older kids. This year it will not
be hosted at Maplewood Nature Center. Instead, it will be at North St. Paul City Hall, 2400 Margaret Street N, St. Paul, from
6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
You will learn how to help stop new invasive plants in their tracks. Early detection of infestations will prevent more buckthorn -
like takeovers.
In the first hour of the class, learn why we should care about invasive species, whatwe can do and how the patrol works. You
will also meet the target species.
For those interested in open space monitoring, the training period of the class will last a little over two hours. You can
sharpen your plant identification skills with a hands-on plant lab and learn how to mark locations and send in a report. You
can choose a site to monitor throughout the season. Bring your own GPS unit or smart phone if you have one, and know how
to find your GPS settings or location settings for your smart phone/smart phone camera before the class begins.
This class is ideal for Master Naturalists & Gardeners, native plant enthusiasts, college students, older teens and adults
