Orange County is a statewide leader in invasive plant detection and management. Ron, our OCCNPS Invasive Plant Chair, will share some stories of our newest and most threatening invasives, their interesting stories of discovery, and their management.
Orange County’s successes are many, and we will celebrate the incredible coordination and collaboration that is happening in our county – and that YOU are a part of. You will learn not only a few plants, but about the agencies, organizations and people that are leading this remarkable effort. Bring your friends and join the team.
