Weed identification class
Invasive plants are a major problem for the environment and the economy. They damage property and crowd out native plants that local wildlife rely on for food and shelter. Join us for a free workshop focusing on Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) for invasive weeds. Learn to identify these invaders and where to report them before they become a problem.

Free workshop. No RSVP required

Help us fight off Gresham’s weedy invaders by participating as a Weed Watcher in our Early Detection, Rapid Response Program. By familiarizing yourself with problem weeds in our area, you can help us stop these plants in their tracks.
