Why Insects? Why Hand-Pulling and Mowing? Why Not Just Chemical Application? Join us as we explore these questions and uncover sustainable solutions.
Alternative Solutions: Discover the innovative methods we use to reduce chemical usage in controlling listed weeds.
Expert Insights: Learn from Todd Breitenfeldt, a renowned science teacher and co-author of Montana's Field Guide for the Biological Control of Weeds in Montana.
Community Involvement: See how the Busy Beaver volunteer corps and community participants are making a difference by releasing specialist insects to target spotted knapweed.
Interactive Experience: Participate in data gathering, learn about biocontrol methods, and explore the wetland to check for biocontrol insects.
Join us as we explore alternative methods of W**d control and strive to avoid the use of herbicides. This hands-on workshop will include a visit to the current release site and a guided walk around the wetland.
