Stewardship Workshop: Invasive Exotic Plants and Their
Control

Stewardship.
Jan 23, 2008; Jackson County Ag. Conference Center, Marianna, Florida

Feb 7, 2008; Austin Cary Memorial Forest, near Gainesville, Florida
Of the over 4,000 known plant species growing in Florida, about 30% are not
native to Florida or the Southeast. Some of these exotic plants are invasive
weeds that form self-sustaining and expanding populations within plant communities
with which they were not previously associated. These invasive exotic plants
displace native plants and associated wildlife, and can alter processes such
as fire and water flow. Despite the millions of dollars that have been spent
on controlling the spread of invasive plants, the rapid and effective dispersal
characteristics of these invaders make them extremely difficult to eliminate.
This program will describe some of the more common and troublesome invasive
exotic plants in Florida forests and current methods being used to control
them.
