The Webinar will begin with an overview of noxious weeds and the three different classes. Next, receive an overview of aquatic noxious weeds and their impact on the state’s water bodies. The Aquatic Weeds Management Account will be introduced and guidelines of the grant program will be highlighted. Participants will learn to identify and manage several key aquatic noxious weeds in Washington. Finally, hear from the Pacific Northwest Invasive Plant Council about its Early Detection and Rapid Response Program. There will be a question-and-answer session at the end.

Both the Washington State Department of Agriculture and Oregon Department of Agriculture have approved one pesticide recertification credit for those who attend the entire Webinar.
