Exotic invasives are one of the greatest current threats to biodiversity. We will learn about the nature and scale of the threat in addition to various methods of control. And we will look at some effective uses of exotic invasives, turning a problem into a resource! By learning to identify some of the main species of exotic invasive plants occurring in the southeastern United States, we can appreciate the variety of food, medicinal and beauty products that can be made from many of them.
