Increase your awareness of the invasive weeds considered to be of greatest concern and train to be a floating botanist, able to identify these invaders in local natural areas and along streams and rivers as you drive, hike, bike, and paddle. Add valuable knowledge to your repertoire of facts, natural history, river lore, and conservation information that you can share.
The paddle trip will provide us an opportunity to identify these problem species in the field, discuss control strategies, and paddle with friends!
