Join Karin Jokela, Xerces Society and Reva Ruehling, Pheasants Forever Farm Bill Biologist, for a half‑day field‑based training focused on identifying native plants and common weeds in a first‑year native vegetation planting. This training will emphasize early‑stage plant identification to help you better support landowners who are managing weeds during establishment. We will explore key ID features, discuss helpful resources and techniques, and review how site preparation influences successful establishment. At the end of the training, participants will work together to apply and test the skills learned throughout the morning.
Event will be held on July 7 from 9 am - 12 pm. Attendees will meet at the USDA Office in Sleepy Eye.
Registration is capped at 20 people, and registration will close on June 30th.
Please reach out to Reva Ruehling at recker@pheasantsforever.org with any questions.
