LP059: NEW - Invasive Species in Ontario
Invasive species are becoming common in both our natural areas and in our urban spaces, and it can be challenging to identify them. Plant keys are often used as a tool to identify native plants in a particular region, but these keys don't include the common invasives you may encounter.
In this seminar, we will look at how to identify common invasive species in Ontario, through the use of both dichotomous keys for native species and studying the morphological differences between them and similar-looking invasive species.
Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of plant names, plant morphology and confidence in differentiating between invasives and their native look-alikes.
