Invasive Plant Species Webinar Series

With invasive plant species growing into an increasingly complicated challenge, the Carroll, Coos, and Grafton County Conservation Districts have teamed up to provide a month of invasive plant species education. In this free webinar series, experts from across the state will share with you their knowledge and stories.

Each webinar runs from 5:00-6:00 pm and will center on state professionals with time for questions. Sign up for one or for all—these offerings are customizable based on your interests:
