While turf and landscape professionals might be very proficient in the development of a weed management program for turf and/or landscape\, invasive plant management often reveals many new and unique challenges. This 4-part program is intended to help participants meet these challenges when attempting to develop an invasive plant management program as part of their business. \nParticipants may receive a certificate in INVASIVE PLANT MANAGEMENT upon the successful completion of all four webinars and and obtaining a passing grade for each. \nNOTE: 2023 will be the final year we offer this certificate program.\nThose who have taken some of the classes in this series in the past and still wish to earn the certificate of completion are advised to finish up any remaining classes in 2023. \nParticipants not interested in a certificate may also attend these webinars without taking the quizzes. While individuals from anywhere are welcome to join us\, this training will have a geographic focus on Massachusetts and New England.
