Weed Warriors 102: Species ID & Removal Techniques

Weed Warriors help the Department of Recreation and Parks manage Non-Native Invasive (NNI) plants which are harmful to trees and forest patches. Certified Weed Warriors are community members, like you, trained as environmental stewards by TreeBaltimore!

Weed Warriors 102: Species ID & Removal Techniques provides an introduction to plant identification characteristics and terminology, and teaches you a few of our most common non-native invasive (NNI) plant species. We’ll also go over some essential methods for removing NNIs, focusing on practices that are best suited for volunteers. 

The 102 class is the second in a four-part series to certify Weed Warriors to independently remove invasive plants from Baltimore City parks and forested natural areas; order to become fully certified, you will need to attend all four classes and to participate in a volunteer event led by a Certified Weed Warrior. The certification class series can be taken across multiple seasons, and in any order.
