2026 Autumn Olive Community Workshops
Autumn olive is a troublesome invasive species that can quickly take over a landscape and crowd out native plants and animals. With thousands of seeds and an extensive root system, management can seem overwhelming - especially once plants grow to be quite large.
Fortunately, with some effort and the right knowledge, autumn olive can be controlled with chemicals or using mechanical methods. ISN is hosting two workshops to communicate the options available to landowners struggling with the plant. We will review how to identify autumn olive at various stages of growth and provide hands-on removal demonstrations. There will also be information available regarding landowner assistance programs if the outbreak is too large to personally handle. Do you require any special accommodations? Let us know! Requests for an interpreter must be made at least two weeks before the event.
