Oregon Botany & Invasive Plant Identification Workshop

About This Workshop

Are you curious about the plants growing in your backyard, local parks, and Oregon’s wild landscapes? Whether you are a passionate gardener, a nature enthusiast, or someone looking to protect local ecosystems, this hands-on workshop is for you!

Join Trailkeepers of Oregon and Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District for an engaging deep-dive into botany essentials, the ecology of invasive plant species, and the specific weeds threatening Oregon’s natural environments.

What We Will Cover

• The Basics of Invasive Species: What actually constitutes an invasive species, how they disrupt local ecosystems, and why every Oregonian should care.
• Botany Fundamentals: Learn the building blocks of plant anatomy and terminology. These foundational skills will empower you to identify any plant—native, ornamental, or invasive.
• Oregon’s Noteworthy Invaders: Get familiar with the identification markers of the most problematic and aggressive invasive plant species currently found in our state.
• Hands-On Practice: We will feature several live plant specimens during the session to help us key in on botany fundamentals and practice identifying real plants up close.
