Lecture Series Lecture Series Image Community Weeds A participatory workshop on practical approaches for controlling invasive plants, planting for resilience, and adapting to change Friday, February 20th •  1 pm - 4 pm Members: $35 • Non-members: $40 REGISTER → Join panelists Tama Wong, Andrew Conboy, and Mark Gallagher in a participatory discussion of common sense, practical, and real-life approaches to controlling invasive plants, and designing, establishing, maintaining and restoring vibrant, resilient landscapes. Each panelist brings a different but overlapping expertise to the topic (forest, meadows and edge habitats, watersheds), and a shared passion for the health and resilience of the flora and fauna of our Mid-Atlantic region. You will be invited to share knowledge, build community, and learn from real-world case studies—highlighting both successes and setbacks. You will leave with fresh ideas, practical strategies, and a deeper understanding of how to control disruptive plants while restoring balance to landscapes ranging from highway medians to backyard gardens. Topics will include the difference between ‘maintenance’ and ‘stewardship’; finding value on roadsides and in vacant lots; use / misuse of herbicides; the ‘addition by subtraction’ approach to invasive plant management; mulching and mowing; native plant selection; and so much more. Participants will include regional vegetation managers, landscape and municipal professionals, home gardeners, small scale farmers, native species reclamation enthusiasts, and more. This interactive forum thrives on collaboration, so come ready to share your own challenges and insights! This program has been submitted for 3 LA CES CEUs. Speakers: Tama Matsuoka Wong worked as a corporate lawyer in Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York after graduating from Harvard Law School. Upon returning a decade ago to her native New Jersey with her family, she rediscovered her passion for the natural world and the wild plants that grew in …
