Mar30 3/30/2010 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Flame Weeding Workshop for Invasives

Tolland County Agricultural Center (map)

Flame-Weeding for Invasive Shrub Control Workshop

Following lunch (bring your own), there will be a hands-on demonstration of the equipment and a short field trip to the CT DEP Belding Wildlife Management Area, where flame-weeding has been integrated into a program of invasive plant control.

Instructors:

Jeffrey Ward and J.P. Barsky, Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station

Jane Seymour, Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection
