On May 8, 2015, you are invited to an instructive and hands-on workshop on Timber Stand Improvement at Dysart Woods in Belmont County. This workshop will be from 12:00-4:00 pm with Jeremy Scherf, Service Forester; Dan Lima, OSU Extension; Liza Butler, Belmont SWCD Wildlife/Forestry Specialist; Kim Brewster, Belmont SWCD Captina Creek Watershed Coordinator; Joe Lehman, NRCS Conservation Technician; and Dave Bauerbach, NRCS Soil Conservationist.
This workshop will help to identify garlic mustard and the control methods on eradicating this problematic plant. We will also be discussing control measures on grapevines and how grapevines can affect your woods, and ailanthus identification and control methods. During this workshop, we will be manually pulling or digging garlic mustard in a dense area of Dysart Woods. We ask you to bring a shovel or hand spade. Please dress accordingly to the weather.
